Landing Party

A technothriller from author T.J. McFadden. The Kimmel is a tired ship with an exhausted crew, overdue on it's Med Cruise when it is tasked for one final mission- to rescue a defecting Libyan pilot. But when the defection goes wrong, the Kimmel finds itself with information on the location of hostages being held secretly in Libya, and a CIA agent obsessed with rescuing them. With the clock ticking and no other help, they must improvise the rescue with the weapons and gear they have, an angry ex-paratrooper and the skills of volunteers from the crew of the Kimmel. Action/Adventure in the tradition of "The Guns of Navarone" set against the background of a modern warship at sea. "Simply fascinating"- Cleveland Plain Dealer.
