Unconquerable Eagle
About this ebook
When global stability hangs by a thread, the standard military apparatus falls short—and Compass Point International (CPI) steps into the breach. Led by elite former Special Forces operator John Stock and brilliance-tested Intel Chief Marcie Beck, CPI is an unbeatable, asymmetrical strike force built to tackle the world’s most lethal hidden threats.
What begins as a well-earned respite across the dramatic landscapes of Argentine Patagonia and the ancient, vibrant quarters of Vietnam and Cambodia quickly turns into a high-stakes, multi-continent battle. As China teeters on the brink of chaotic internal collapse and rogue factions target the very figurehead of a new democratic movement, Stock and his global network of Tier-1 Spec Ops units must move like ghosts across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
