A desperate call for help on behalf of an old friend puts Mack Bolan in an awkward position. Dr. Nathan Weiss is plying his lifesaving skills among the Brazilian tribes embroiled in civil war in the heart of the blood-drenched Amazon. Bolan is not sure Weiss wants help, yet the Executioner's combat senses tell him Weiss is part of something bigger and he finds it on a collision course with government death squads holding hands with CIA black ops, who view Weiss as a liability to the U. S. The odds against the mission's success greatly increase and Bolan becomes a moving target when he's temporarily blinded in a firefight. But the Stony warrior goes into every battle knowing troubleeven deathwill eventually find him. He's prepared for both.
