As the Vietnam War winds down, Jake Fonko's mission has only just begun... Meet Jake Fonko, America's coolest covert agent. An ex-surfer and decorated Ranger working in Army Intelligence, Jake finds himself dispatched to Saigon during the final days of the Vietnam War, temporarily on loan to the CIA. Jake figures that he'll ride a desk, relax in Saigon and collect a paycheck -- business as usual. But the CIA has other plans for Jake... The agency mysteriously ships him off to Cambodia for a top-secret mission with instructions to make contact with an asset out of the loop. Upon arriving, however, he discovers that the CIA hasn't made contact with the asset in two years, and the trail has gone cold -- an almost impossible mission for Jake, a soldier with little experience in international espionage. Why him? But before he can find the answer, the Khmer Rouge take over Cambodia, and Jake finds himself fighting for his life in a foreign country that's suddenly become very inhospitable for Americans. Stuck in unfriendly territory without hope of evacuation, Jake must rely on his ingenuity and wits if he hopes to keep breathing. Will he find out why the CIA sent him on this mission? Will his illegal espionage activities trigger an international crisis? Can he survive the killing fields and track down the target? And will he make it out of Cambodia alive to tell his tale? This is no Cold War, that's for sure... Jake Fonko MIA chronicles Fonko's encounters with Khmer Rouge torturers, a classic Cold War face-off with an expert KGB spy and his hunt for a renegade CIA agent (although psychopath is, perhaps, a more accurate descriptor). His adventures across war-torn Cambodia amidst the chaos and corruption are tales you won't believe, except...what if it's all true? Jake Fonko M.I.A. is an action adventure that blends historical fiction with spy thrills. It is the first adventure in the Jake Fonko series.
