The Next to Last Moonraker into Brouillecourt Parish: An Action Adventure Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781685494377)

They thought the war was over, but Jim Hammer never left the battlefield.

A decade ago, Captain Jim Hammer hunted Afghan warlords with a sniper's focus and a soldier's resolve. He and his team brought justice to the mountains of Kandahar-almost. One corrupt U.S. official slipped the crosshairs, and now, half a world away, the war is back.

In the shadowed bayous of Brouillecourt Parish, Louisiana, whispers rise of a major smuggling ring protected by federal agents. Former members of Hammer's old Special Ops team are pulled into the intrigue. When a murdered whistleblower's warning lands in Nicole's lap and killers close in, there's only one man she can call.

Hammer is thrust into a deadly chase across Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana, where the moonrakers aren't moving rum or drugs-they're smuggling weapons of war. U.S. military hardware abandoned in Afghanistan is being funneled onto American soil by rogue defense officials, hired guns, and a Taliban-linked conman playing both sides.

At the center: Wallace "Wally" Gusche, a corrupt DOD logistics boss; Abed Qalandar, a slippery war profiteer with Taliban ties; and Alexis Mondtrom, a government insider selling death to cartels. With a loyal circle of old war buddies and ordinary citizens turned patriots, Hammer launches a relentless campaign to tear apart a conspiracy buried deep inside the U.S. government.

When the operation erupts into chaos-ambushes, double-crosses, cartel uprisings, and fiery shootouts-Hammer discovers that justice doesn't come with rules. It comes at a cost.
