Night Jackal — James Martin

Book II in the M.U.T.T. Series, M.U.T.T.: Night Jackal focuses on the Night Jackal infiltration team which is asked to operate as an investigative unit shortly after the M.U.T.T. phalanx returns to home base after completing their escort mission as told in Book I, M.U.T.T.: Multiple Utility Tactical Teams. Night Jackal returns to the Pact nation of Tremannen at the request of their government. They are tasked with helping the Tremannen authorities attempt to uncover who attempted to assassinate their Princess Nandua in advance of her wedding to Second Prince Braden of Gwann, whom M.U.T.T. had escorted from his nation to hers. Once again M.U.T.T., in this case a single squadron of the phalanx, is put in the middle of situation requiring the utmost diplomatic awareness and care, while also employing all of their senses, training and abilities to help solve a mystery with global implications. It is a mission that they cannot afford to fail if they do not want to see the fragile peace between the Pact and Alliance disintegrate. Unseen antagonists once again seem to dog their every move and threaten to destabilize the peace that M.U.T.T. seeks to reinforce. Night Jackal combats time and machinations with intelligence and instinct and when necessary, brute force, spells, talents and powers.
