Back to Somalia - by Glenn A Bell (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

WHAT DO NORTH KOREAN NUKES, SOMALI PIRATES, HELICOPTERS, JET AIRPLANES, SUBMARINES, AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, AND SAVANNAH HAVE IN COMMON? ANSWER: CAJUN

Ethan Breaux, call sign Cajun, has been flying charters out of Bristol, England for two years. His life as a civilian pilot has been going very well after many years of flying Special Ops missions in Army helicopters. Cajun is sought out by the CIA to coordinate then execute a super clandestine military style operation into Mogadishu, Somalia to retrieve a North Korean nuclear weapon hijacked by Pirates at the behest of Hezbollah Islamic terrorist.

He reluctantly agrees to take on the dangerous mission only after learning that Savannah, the love of his life, is being held on the outskirts of Ethiopia. She is a nurse and has been taken along with an Ethiopian nurse by Somali Islamic soldiers to treat their wounded.

Cajun brings together all his Special Operations buddies from the old days. The U.S. Government provides everything needed in the way of military helicopters because the U.S. cannot set foot back in Somalia after the failed Battle of Mogadishu of 1993. The story moves from England to Oman, then into the Cradle of Mankind in the depths of darkest Africa.

The realism in the execution of multiple military skirmishes involving air to ground firefights could only be written by someone who has pulled the trigger.
