Spike

By Eric Helm

Book Overview

Explosive action in the Vietnam jungle Perfect for fans of Andrew Watts, L. T. Ryan, Don Keith and George Wallace.

Captain Gerber leads a direct-action mission into North Vietnam...

Vietnam, 1968

War materials are being shipped in by rail from China to an enemy staging area at Son Tay in North Vietnam. From there NVA regulars are transporting the arms and ammunition on foot to the South.

U.S. Army Special Forces Captain Mack Gerber and Master Sergeant Anthony B. Fetterman get the job of wiping out this rolling ammo dump.

With an air strike ruled out due to the railyard's close proximity to the Chinese border, Gerber and Fetterman form a spike team and parachute deep behind enemy lines. Their mission: to vaporize the staging area and any enemy troops that get in the way.

But with stale Intel from the CIA, Kit Carson scouts of questionable loyalty, and no detailed plan of attack, Gerber can't shake the feeling that the mission itself - as well as the staging area - is about to go kaboom.

SPIKE is the twenty-sixth book in the Vietnam: Ground Zero series: action-packed, authentic historical thrillers following an American Special Forces Squad as they fight to survive during the brutal Vietnam War.
