"You will search out the enemy and you will destroy him . . ." Those were the President's orders to Richard LeGrande. The Chief of State knew LeGrande was the one man who could be trusted to fulfill those instructions - if anyone could.
LeGrande was the Spymaster.
He was head of "GENOPS" (General Operations Agency). Behind this innocuous sobriquet, lay the last ditch organization ready at any moment to take on any job that was too dirty or too difficult for the Military or the CIA. If GENOPs failed, the US fell.

When a U-2 brings back photographs of five new, huge Chinese military installations - an airfield, a bridge, a dam, a rail road station, and a tank farm - up and running north of Hanoi . . . all built in less than a month, signifying a massive Chinese military build-up.
Legrand does the math. Five targets, means he will need five agents . . .
LeGrande assembles five of his hand-picked crew of specialists in such arts as arson, throat-slitting and sabotage. The agents have been ordered to parachute behind enemy lines, then search out and destroy the Chinese installations. If they fail, the Air Force will have no option but to bomb them. And risk starting WW3.
LeGrande gathers them in Saigon and watches the wheels lift as their plane bears them off on what for some, or all five, could be their final mission.
Moments later LeGrande is handed intelligence showing one of his men is a traitor. . . .
"Authentic as a machine-gun burst, a novel of American guerillas deep behind enemy lines. A superb action thriller." Baltimore Sun
"A race against time, tension of combat, exciting war drama." Detroit News
