Kill Team

Convicted of murder and betrayed his own, Farrell is offered a way out, a release from the military dungeon. A contract with CIA, a chance to become a paid killer for their Phoenix Program.

After serving with honor in Vietnam, Paul Farrell is sentenced to the military prison at Leavenworth. His crime was to kill a Vietnamese who aided the Vietcong, who committed murder and betrayed his own people. The men running the war understand it was a righteous kill, but the traitor was connected to the Saigon government. They demanded retribution. Demanded they drag him away in chains. Demanded he spend most of the rest of his life in a deep, dark cell. With no other choice, he arrives back at Tan Son Nhut Airbase outside Saigon. They attach him to a small squad led by a brutal sociopath, Clarence Dorsey. A ruthless assassin who has vowed, 'the only good gook is a dead gook,' and he leaves the bodies of innocent and guilty alike scattered in his wake.

Farrell is sickened by Dorsey's callous disregard for innocent life. When he protests, he finds himself placed on the Phoenix target list. His contract becomes as much about defending himself from Dorsey and his psychotic buddy, as it is about killing the enemy. When the squad is plunged deep into hostile territory, Paul Farrell must fight a no holds barred vicious, violent war on two fronts. Against the North Vietnamese Army and their Vietcong pals. And against Clarence's efforts to kill him. This is a story of a little-known Black Operation that takes place in the middle of the dense and hostile Vietnamese jungle. The story of one man's desperate struggle to stay alive and to maintain a sense of honor and morality in a country where any notion of humanity has become meaningless.
