Meet Jake Fonko, America’s coolest covert agent.
An ex-surfer and decorated Ranger working in Army Intelligence, Jake Fonko is dispatched to Saigon during the final days of the Vietnam War, temporarily on loan to the CIA. Jake figures that he’ll ride a desk, relax in Saigon, and collect a paycheck — but the CIA has other plans.
The agency mysteriously ships him off to Cambodia on a top-secret … him off to Cambodia on a top-secret mission to make contact with an agency asset who’s been out of the loop for two years. The trail has gone cold, and Jake begins to wonder why the CIA chose him, a soldier with little espionage expertise.
But before he can find the answer, the Khmer Rouge take over Cambodia and Jake quickly finds himself fighting for his life in unfriendly territory. With no allies, no backup, and no hope of evacuation, Jake must rely on his ingenuity and wits if he hopes to keep breathing.
Will he find out why the CIA sent him on this mission? Can he survive the killing fields long enough to track down the target? And will he make it out of chaotic and corrupt Cambodia alive to tell his tale?
Blending a dash of Flashman’s history, a helping of Travis McGee’s lifestyle, and a hint of James Bond’s suave cool, Jake Fonko MIA is an adventure you won’t believe, except… what if it’s all true?

I bought the whole series after reading the first book exc writing plenty of action and plot twists.I cannot wait for the next one to come out. Mike mason
This spell binding action read is one you can’t put down. Many a night I read with one eye open because I was falling asleep but didn’t want to quit.
Meandering plot. Almost didn’t care about finishing the book. You can do better.
Way to drawn out for the story line.
From the moment I started reading it I couldn’t put it down.
Easy read that entertains and takes you through the last days of US in Viet Nam.
I enjoyed the background information being a Vietnam vet, but it seemed confusing about it plot and purpose..
Good read
Interesting info on Vietnam Nam
Interesting plot, kept me turning the pages.
MIA, great reading, very entertaining, some historic fact that I can relate to because of my own ventures in South East Asia! Some great humor in some parts! I highly recommend this book and others by this author!
