Border Slot - Paperback

by Jack Lyndon Thomas (Author)

How far will a man go to protect his family?In northwestern Montana, the ruthless leader of a rightwing paramilitary group obtains electromagnetic (EMP) weapons that can cripple America's infrastructure. Duncan Crandle, with his burning hatred for the federal government that confiscated his family land decades ago, vows to kill anyone who interferes with his mission: to establish White Might Supremacy.A key militiaman defects. In the Texas Hill Country, he knocks on the door of decorated infantry officer Kannon Ballard. When this fellow veteran-a Cobra gunship pilot who saved Kannon's Việt Nam outpost from being overrun forty years ago-asks for help, Kannon can't say "no." What he fails to recognize is the merciless scope of the militia's threat-until his six-year-old son is kidnapped. Aided by a reformed gang leader, Kannon organizes an unsanctioned rescue team. They arrive too late to prevent the first EMP attack that devastates a small Montana town. Now, against inconceivable odds, Kannon's struggle to save his son and destroy the militia not only stretches manmade laws but seriously challenges his morality.In the eternal battle between good and evil, Kannon Ballard must engage all his ability, guts, and resolve.
