DESCRIPTION:
Hijacking the jet, they then slit the throat of the lone crew and fly to parts unknown. Two armed men board a 727 all but forgotten at an airfield in Angola. A West Point graduate, a pilot, and a veteran of Desert Storm, Castillo has a sharp eye for the facts - and the reality behind them. Traveling undercover, he flies to Africa, and there, helped and hindered by unexpected allies and determined enemies, begins to untangle a story of frightening dimensions - a story that, unless he can do something about it, will end very, very badly indeed, not only for Castillo but for
