MP-5 CIA #4
The Yemen Connection
Yemen's top terrorist is planning a devastating biological attack against the United States. He only has one problem: his moneyman has just been arrested by Yemen's counterterrorism unit.
At the same time, a very wealthy Yemeni man, overwhelmed by his son's recent drug arrest in Saudi Arabia and the prospect that his son will spend many years behind bars, finds hope from an unexpected source. Approached by a member of an elite four-member CIA team, he is promised that his son will come home, but on one condition. He has to pose as a moneyman for the terrorist and find out exactly what is being planned. Of course, he agrees.
The CIA team, including an attractive woman doctor, has joined a Catholic mission, which houses a medical clinic, in order to have cover while operating in Yemen. While performing her duties as a physician for the mission, the woman agent comes across some autistic children at an orphanage and learns that they have never had any vaccinations, which she believes is the underlying cause of autism. This leads her to discover something else that might be going on with these particular children. Admitting that her theory is a long shot, she nonetheless pursues her hypothesis, unaware that following through on her theory will get people killed.
Meanwhile, the CIA team has a big problem. The real moneyman has escaped from custody. If he finds his way back to the terrorist, their imposter front man will no longer be needed. In fact, his life will be in danger. And the CIA will be in the dark, unable to thwart the pending attack.

Great series
Another book another country, the adventure continues in Yemen this time as the team tries to halt a biological attack. Their cover as priests and nuns gives a little coverage in a poor country. Great reading.

Written in a dry way which actually turns out quite effective.
There is nothing extraordinary about the situation of this unit in Yemen, they have a problem which they can hopefully bring to a positive conclusion (which is the way the CIA might put it.)
There is no government assassination as such, although some things must be done. The descriptions of the actions are described in an almost every-day fashion, and of course the gist is that the operatives are trying to find out what the 'idiots' are doing, and do their best to prevent it.
The narrative seems to begin in a humdrum sort of way, but develops into a surprisingly satisfying tale.

Loved it, a great series for the genre. All four books pull together very nicely, can't wait for number 5!
