A Station in the Delta

Plunging into the crossfire is Toby Busch, CIA clandestine field officer, fresh from a failed mission in Germany. Determined to leave his haunted past behind, he falls in love with a beautiful war widow from Hanoi - and learns incredulously of a planned all-out Viet Cong offensive to be sprung on Tet, the sacred New Year. To the enemy, Busch is a target. To his superiors, he is a dangerous embarrassment. From the air-conditioned, plexiglassed American preserve in My Tho, operations station in the Mekong Delta, to the chafing, treacherous shadows deep in the jungle, Busch alone must face the looming holocaust, as his life - and love - come under raging fire.
