Mead's Trek

Marine Corps Major Amos Mead, a lawyer by education, is recruited as an Intelligence Agent in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in early 1943. After serving in England against the Nazis and a mission to protect new secret radar used by the Army Air Corps, he is now on a mission under direct orders of the president to assess intelligence operations conducting operations against the Empire of Japan in the China/Burma/India Theater of Operations in southeast Asia. Known only to a few of his team, he is also tasked with seeking out a powerful Asian leader and investigate the possibility that the Vice President of the United States is involved in private, secret negotiations with Vietnamese Communists for a post-war alliance.
En route to his assignment, unexpected life-threatening events befall Mead's team. The mission takes on a new and deadly urgency-survival. Mead and the team are forced onto a trek in enemy infested jungle that will test the limits of mental toughness and physical endurance. The action is intense, the outcome not predictable.
