Black Ops Vietnam

1980, Vietnam, and the war is over. The shooting has stopped, and the so-called ‘liberated’ nation is at peace. They say. Ben Smith recalls his flight home in 1973, watching Tan Son Nhut disappear beneath the clouds. A veteran of an SF Rapid Reaction Force, he’s seen his share of fighting and come close to getting killed. Now it's over. Never again. So he thinks.

His Vietnamese girlfriend Le is waiting for a visa to join him in the States. It still hasn’t come through when he learns she died in a Saigon hospital. Vietnam has claimed yet another victim, and for the next few years he works to forget Vietnam.

Until he discovers Le has given birth to a daughter, now seven years old. He must find her and bring her to the States to live a normal life. Vietnam is determined to stop him. The fighting is over, yet it isn't. The shooting has stopped. Except it hasn’t. A new breed of enemy has arrived from Hanoi. The carpetbaggers, the Communists who seized power. Men like Major Vo Nguyen Mang, of the Ministry of Public Security. An officer who harbors a pathological hatred for Americans and wants Smith dead.

He needs time to find his daughter, and that means earning a living. The ‘Saigon Station’ is born, a service to trace missing persons. He has no shortage of clients prospective clients. Some are fugitives, people living in fear of the Hanoi regime. They need a man prepared to fight to get them out of the country. A man who is no stranger to war. A man who knows how to handle a gun.

Smith travels through the Mekong, to the Laotian border, and north to Hue. Each time blocked by men determined to kill him. Except he is difficult to kill. The war may be over, but his fight isn't over.
