Publisher Description

THE DRUG WAR

is about to become

A REAL WAR.
Chris Teller may be the best in the intelligence business, but that doesn't mean he's the most popular. Far from it, in fact. While he may be a threat to the status quo, however, the only thing saving him from expulsion is an even greater threat to his country, one that's already within our borders.

With Mexico descending into anarchy, the drug cartels have kicked up the heat, allying with Hezbollah and the Iranian secret service in a plot aimed at nothing less than the destruction of the United States of America. As Teller races to unravel the plot, he discovers that the most dangerous and pernicious enemies are not bloodthirsty drug lords, but a terrifying and treasonous cabal within the U.S. government itself.

Former military intelligence officer Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer made headlines when his memoir, Operation Dark Heart, faced Department of Defense censorship. Now he returns with The Last Line, an eye-opening thriller rooted in the shadow world of espionage, government power, and betrayal.

A secret world

Out side the political machinations is the secret world of alphabet soup: CIA, DIA, and so on. In this world is Captain Chris Teller, a one of the best intelligence operatives in the United States. He has a way of getting things done that doesn't make him popular with his superiors. When he is sent to Mexico to reestablish an intelligence network to counter the drug cartels, he unearths more than he bargained for. Treason on both sides of the boarder, people agitating for the southwestern states to break away, with Iranian Intelligence smuggling nuclear weapons into the United States.

Anthony Shaffer has written a spy thriller that takes the reader from the treacherous streets of Mexico to the jungles of Belize to Washington DC. The story is fast paced. However, he does get bogged down in technical details of equipment and weapons. These are interesting details for geeks like me, but the placement of details on weapons during a fire fight does slow the action down. All things considered, it was a very enjoyable read.
