Old Soldiers Never Die — Don Bendell

Fanatical terrorists have planted a backpack nuclear bomb at one of America's popular tourist attractions intending to kill many innocent people. However, one arthritic old man stands in their way, along with his beautiful passionate lover who is a surgeon, a moderate Muslim police detective lieutenant friend, and a courageous loyal German Shepherd. However, wanting to kill and behead the doctor are the very same extremists who planted the bomb, and they have been chasing her and the old man, a former Green Beret Vietnam War veteran, retired martial arts instructor, and best-selling author. They have chased the pair all over the forested mountains of southern Colorado, and lakes, and cities. The pair is also being pursued by a big law enforcement task force thinking they are cop-killers, so they are trying to elude but protect the innocent but angry officers. One thing the terrorists did not think about was that the old man was also a real cowboy with a real horse, a real ranch, and real survival skills, and lived by his own Code of the West. He was also being helped by a friend he had worked with before who happened to be the surgeon's father, a living legend in Special Forces and the CIA. Heading to the Mideast, he planned to cut the head off the snake, because nobody was going to hurt his little girl.
