Jungle Ghosts. The Black Files, #2

Jungle Ghostsby MJ HawkeDeep in the forgotten jungles of Southeast Asia, the war no one admits to is about to turn personal. Laos. The Ho Chi Minh Trail is alive with shadows-and something far more dangerous than guerrillas stalks the canopy. When a brutal ambush leaves a chilling calling card behind, CIA-linked operative Major Jack Rourke realizes his deadliest enemy is no longer hiding. Sergei Volkov-a ruthless Soviet strategist and master of psychological warfare-is operating deep behind enemy lines, training elite hunter-killer teams and turning the jungle itself into a weapon.
His objective is unknown. His methods are surgical. And his message is clear: this is a personal hunt. Reassigned to a deniable task force and cut loose from conventional support, Rourke and his team plunge into a world where air cover doesn't exist, allies can't be trusted, and every step could trigger a trap. As they follow Volkov's trail through ambush sites, massacred convoys, and terrified villages, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur.
But Volkov isn't just preparing for a confrontation-he's building something. Hidden in the limestone mountains, protected by ghosts and blood, lies a secret that could shift the balance of the Cold War in Southeast Asia. Outnumbered, outgunned, and betrayed from above, Rourke must embrace the jungle's oldest rule:become invisible-or die. Jungle Ghosts is a relentless military thriller packed with covert operations, jungle combat, and Cold War intrigue-perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts, and classic MACV-SOG warfare.
When the jungle decides who lives and who vanishes.only ghosts survive.
