MEXICO DAWN

Lieutenant Colonel Steven Brent, commanding a Delta Force Special Operations Team, is secretly dropped into northern Mexico to RECON and destroy a suspected Hezbollah command center. Brents team in Mexico is assisted by a secret underground Christian organization code named Don Pablo Montéz. Steve, and two Mexican operatives are captured, tortured, ordered to be assassinated, and their bodies burned. Brents team, in command of his best friend Captain David López, working against a deadline, has orders to blow up the command center hoping and praying that Steve is not held there. Mexico Dawn is a story filled with suspense and intrigue, true love, devotion, patriotism and determination, and courageous conviction. From the overt and covert operations of the military in foreign lands, to the stories of faith in God and love of family, the novel embraces and vividly portrays the very best and very worst in people. The author has paid particular attention to detail and realism, so much so that the reader finds himself caught up in each moment, joining with the storys characters as they carry out a covert mission in the interior of Mexico. This story has it all, and is a most pleasurable read. Ralph Jones, PhD, MSGT, USAF RET.
