Imminent Evil — C.C. Risenhoover

Matt McCall, labeled “the most dangerous man in the world” by terrorists, is ambushed at his Texas hill country home by men in heavily armed helicopters. His longtime handyman and cook is chopped down by automatic weapons fire. Despite being wounded, McCall puts up a gallant fight -- but is no match for the rockets that smash into his log home. With their rockets, the assailants splinter the house into toothpicks and turn the place into a blazing inferno. Logically, no one could have escaped such devastation, but McCall has a way of defying logic. Seriously wounded, he manages to crawl through an escape tunnel and away from the house before it is engulfed in flames. Located by CIA compatriots, he is rushed to a secret hospital facility in San Antonio and put back together, but enemies are led to believe he is dead until he is well enough to exact revenge.
