An American lieutenant leading tribal mercenaries in a fight to save their ancient enemy. What could go wrong?

For former Peace Corps volunteer Galen St. Cyr, the MIKE Force is the ultimate military adventure. Having escaped the petty harassment and mindless discipline of the conventional Army, he is now out on his own with a hand-picked team of American, Australian and Vietnamese Special Forces, leading a company of Montagnard paratroops against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. He has even taken a beautiful Jarai lover. Now if he can just survive the Tet offensive, Vietnamese schemes, a lover who commands assassins and hears voices in her head, a Montagnard revolt and hard combat with an ever growing enemy—he might just live long enough to make it home. 

If that’s really what he wants.  

After all, you don’t join the MIKE Force expecting to live forever…
