SpecOps: Off The Hook

By Robert B Langtry

High stakes espionage meets the world of high fashion and the political and security tensions in Asia.

Dean Wilson, an Australian-born SAS officer seconded to the secretive 5 Eyes intelligence group. He works alongside intelligence analyst (and fashion model) Mackenzie Mason acting on intelligence that requires attention in the APAC region. Chatter and human intelligence indicates that North Korean military have developed stealth underwater swarming drones and plan to attack elements of a multi-nation AUKUS fleet of warships engaged in freedom of navigation exercises in the South China Sea. Their intent is to destabilise the region, pitting the superpowers against each other and ultimately sheltering the corrupt regime under China's extended protetive stance.

When a specialist expert in propulsion and navigation is kidnapped from a conference in Sydney, SpecOps assembles a team to track down intelligence hat might lead to recovering the scientist. Working under the cover of a Fashion Expo staged in Seoul Dean and Mackenzie, supported by a crew of trained SAS commandos under Major Charlie Hogan, follow chatter and a trail of death and destruction, overcoming North Korean forces, Russian mercenaries and betrayal by one of their own to retrieve the scientist and avoid a disaster of massive proportions.

While they succeed in destroying the drones and the factory on a remote island, they did not count on a renegade Russian mercenary who is committed to using a single, powerful drone to destroy a US warship currently on a goodwill visit to Incheon Harbor near Seoul. They make a valiant attempt and it looks like they have succeeded in destroying the threat.
