The White Vixen

November 1981: Captain Jo Ann Geary, USAF Special Operations, is on a Chinese island, sent there to rescue a captured British secret agent. An expert linguist and martial artist, the Korean-American officer has volunteered to assist UK Royal Marines in the operation, a decision that will lead to the most dangerous mission of her career.
April 1982: A shadow government in Argentina is pushing the country to capture the Falkland Islands, in order to lure the British fleet into a trap. Once again, MI6 calls upon Geary for help. She is to go undercover deep inside Argentina, to find the man behind the plot, confront a terror thought long dead, and prevent an attack that could touch off World War III.

Reviews

[Kyle Janison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tautly written and action-packed, “White Vixen” marks a solid debut adventure novel. The book moves beyond the standard spy and war novel fare, however, by introducing an intriguing character, Korean-American Jo Ann Geary, a USAF Special Operations captain who’s so good that even M16 needs her services. The novel also fills a void in the thriller genre – a rare book about the Falklands War of the early 1980s. If this book demonstrates the skills of a writer at the beginning of his career, then I can’t wait for his next few titles.

interesting story line with characters to keep you involved in the book but at times seems to drag on. Does have adventure and romance along with Nazis in Argentina. Recommended for anyone who likes history, spy, or adventure.

A very-well done historical espionage thriller with a solid female lead. Looking forward to more from this writer.
