Ngo Tien, ruthless king of Orange County's Asian underworld, has built his empire of drugs, prostitution and pornography by extorting the people he pretends to serve: the refugees of Southern California's Vietnamese community. One former Hmong warrior has watched the gang lord terrorize his countrymen from Saigon to Costa Mesa, but he can't stop Tien alone. His last hope rests with an old friend from the hellgrounds of Vietnam. It's a different world and a different war, but Mack Bolan knows the enemy by heart. And that's where he's aiming.
