Savage Deadlock — Don Pendleton

NO MAN'S LAND

A missing U.S. nuclear scientist resurfaces as a member of a guerrilla women's rights organization in Pakistan, raising all kinds of alarms in Washington. Armed with fissionable material -- and the knowledge to use it -- the scientist is soon targeted by rebel fighters determined to get their hands on the nukes at any cost.

With the stability of the entire region on the line, Mack Bolan is tasked with extracting the woman and bringing her Stateside, even if she doesn't want to go. But as the rebels close in and the rights group realizes its combined weapons and skills can't compare to those of trained fighters, Bolan and his allies -- a handful of Pakistani soldiers and an army officer -- are forced to join the battle. Their team might be small, but the Executioner has might on his side.
