HiJacked TERROR — Robert M. Johnson

On the North American Continent a new form of terrorism has come into existence in the sovereign country of Mexico. It is fueled by the extensive flow of drugs from that country into the American black market. Recent reports place the financials of this trade at over twenty billion American dollars. On the Mexican side of the international border, there have been killings in the tens of thousands, over fifty thousand by one accounting. On the American side of the border, Homeland Security and the American Border Patrol System have been on high alert manning major check points. A particular hotbed of violent activity and intense drug trafficking is the city of El Paso, Texas. Homeland Federal Agent, Joe Maki is being drawn into this festering region of illegal drug commerce by his boss, who is asking him to accompany a large supply of automatic weapons that are being transferred to the Border Patrol Unit in El Paso. The mission becomes a disaster when the C-17 transport jet is hijacked by the Mexican Cartel and flown into Mexico. But taking Agent Joe Maki prisoner might have been the Cartel's worse nightmare. In this third volume of the series: Boston's Counter-Terrorism Unit, Robert M. Johnson has crafted a story filled with action and insight. Joe Maki, Homeland Agent is suddenly thrust into the heart of the Mexican underworld, where an army of hoodlums seeks to control the lucrative flow of illicit drugs into America. The problem is so vast that the Mexican government has had to rely on their military to address the problem. As usual, time is of the essence, and with limited resources and time running out, Joe Maki is on his own. The results are fascinating! “HiJacked Terror” is a must read.
