Dark, gritty and raw, Gray Ghost smothers you in a bear hug of intensity and takes you on a wild, desperate ride through the streets and jungles of southeast Asia to save an American held captive by the enemy. F.X. Regan has delivered a thrilling tale that reads as historical fiction, transporting you into the Vietnam War-era espionage ecosystem where spies operate in the shadows, loyalty is fluid, and nothing is ever quite as it seems.
An Air America flight is shot down over Laos and the pilot is taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese Army. In goes Chase Black, a covert CIA operative with orders to cultivate sources and throw some money around to locate the pilot and enact a rescue mission. With hostilities in full swing during 1968, Black has his work cut out for him with danger lurking around every corner and with trust a difficult commodity to come by. But Black is exceedingly good at his job, deftly navigating enemy territory and internal CIA politics, to successfully complete his mission. If only he can stay alive, and protect the woman he’s falling in love with, long enough to do so.
Unlike the 1990 film Air America, there’s nothing funny about Gray Ghost. It’s deadly serious and filled with life and death consequences. Giving you a front row seat to a dangerous covert operation behind enemy lines with a sense of urgency to complete the mission before time runs out. It’s harrowing, relentless, unforgiving and haunting. Holding you in suspense while landing multiple gut punches while you pray for some semblance of a happy ending.
Not for the faint of heart, Gray Ghost is a gripping, authentic, nerve-shredding and propulsive Vietnam War thriller you won’t soon forget.
