Myrmidon: A Jim Chapel Story

Wounded Special Forces veteran Jim Chapel now specializes in missions improbable (and sometimes impossible). Armed with a prototype robotic arm and guided by his handler Angel, he tackles the covert missions regular agencies cannot risk (and will not touch).

When the contraband trail leads to the desert scrub south of Pueblo, Colorado, Chapel goes in alone to confront the Separatist Allied Front. Facing two thousand armed zealots, he relies on steady nerve to probe an enclave where discovery is fatal and backup is hours away.

After confronting a Russian triple agent, Chapel must infiltrate a separatist militia group to track and seize contraband Russian weaponry. But the militia leader has his own agenda ... and an ace up his sleeve.
