Swift. Silent. Deadly

By James Quaintance

THE MISSION IS SIMPLE: FIND PABLO ESCOBAR.
NOTHING ABOUT WHAT FOLLOWS WILL BE.

COLOMBIA, 1986. Sergeant Jay Quin and the Marines of Alpha Team have been sent deep into South America on a mission few will ever know existed.

Their objective is to capture one of the most dangerous men on earth: Drug Lord Pablo Escobar.

Operating within the rivers and jungles of cartel territory, Alpha Team must move unseen, strike without warning, and survive in a country where money buys loyalty, information is worth more than ammunition, and the enemy seems to know their every move.

Something is wrong.

Routes are compromised. Cartel forces appear where they shouldn't. And the DEA operative assigned to guide them may be hiding more than anyone realizes.

Then the mission becomes a nightmare.

Cut off, hunted, and fighting their way through overwhelming enemy forces, Quin and his Marines are forced into a brutal battle for survival. What begins as an operation against a drug empire becomes something far more personal: A fight to uncover the betrayal that put them in the kill zone, and a losing battle to bring their brothers home.

For Quin, surviving Colombia will only be the beginning. Because some wounds don't heal when the shooting stops.
And some debts can only be paid in blood.

Swift. Silent. Deadly.

These are more than words to a Recon Marine.

They are a promise.

Black Diamonds: Swift, Silent, Deadly is a story of brotherhood, betrayal, sacrifice, and one Marine's determination to carry the fallen with him while hunting the men responsible for their deaths.

Based on actual events that took place during the author's time of service in the USMC. Names are changed and content is dramatized for the reader's enjoyment.
