The attack didn’t originate from the sea, or air, or land. It struck without warning, silently, quickly, decisively. The premeditated onslaught against the aircraft carrier, USS John Preston, left young sailors dead, dying, or rendered incapacitated, with little hope of full recovery. The weapon of choice was unique, and used with devastating consequences: a drug called “yaba.”
No one had claimed responsibility.
Aboard the Preston, Admiral John Torrinson, former NIS Chief, headed up his own on board investigation. Burma, Thailand, Laos — three countries that made up the “Golden Triangle” — were known to make yaba, a potent energy pill that had now become a killer.
Grant Stevens and Team Alpha Tango — all former Navy SEALs — are specifically requested for the mission.
Who was involved? Where would the op lead the Team? Both were open-ended questions. And as with any mission, well designed plans could go south in a heartbeat. For A.T, this op would substantiate that as fact.
