A spy without a master.
A rogue with one more mission.
Asset in Black
by Casey Prescott
From the minds of
Janet & Chris Morris
Genre: Action Techno-Thriller
A man without a country.
A spy without a master.
A rogue with one more mission.
Cordell 'Cory' Hunt, a renegade free agent who has worked
for both U.S. and Soviet intelligence agencies, is recalled from Morocco by
U.S. agents to give one final debriefing. Within hours, he's headed on a
nightmare black op with more hanging in the balance than he'd ever expected.
Asset in Black is the single best espionage/spy thriller I've ever found. Complicated characters, women in major roles, shifting alliances and shifting loyalties, layers on layers, tremendous action sequences, a sleek plot, everything in perfect focus, a dog, and supremely satisfying ending. Thirty years after I first read it, it remains remarkably undated, and I'll still place it at the top of my top ten list. – Amazon Review
Hunt knew the position of the munitions depot by heart; he could draw a map of the compound in his sleep.
He waited for the leader’s signal—a wolf’s howl.
When it came, Hunt fired the rocket, knees braced against the shock and sound, head buried in the crook of his arm, then hit the dirt as it arced toward the munitions dump.
Nonetheless, the shock wave from the explosion buffeted him; the concussive roar of assorted munitions going up deafened him.
He never got back to his feet. Well before the ringing in his ears lessened, Hind helicopter gunships descended on them out of the black night, spewing cannon fire and antipersonnel explosives.
Hunt had time only to grab the man next to him, pull the mujahed down by the ankles, and bury his own head in his arms before the ground around him began to shudder with near-miss explosions and he was showered with clots of dirt and shattered rock and the occasional wet debris of a human body blown apart.
Just as he took his arms away from his head and neck to grab his rifle and shoot back at the gunships, now swooping with blinding searchlights while their gunners kept the mujahedin pinned, something exploded right beside him and the back of his head came off in a blinding shower of multicolored sparks.
