Chip Off the Bloc — Gar Wilson

California Carnage
MERGE is on the move, and the mercury hits the boiling point in the Sunshine State when the Mexican faction of this international crime syndicate stages an auction. On the block is the man responsible for the U.S. Star Wars program.

The bidders include both the Russian and American governments, and each tries to influence the outcome by backing their bankbooks with bullets. But when the bidding explodes, Phoenix Force is called in to prevent a crippling setback in the U.S. defense program. The Force's success depends on only one thing: the five battle-hard commandos must outbid the Russians!
