Hell Dawn
Don Pendleton
Forged in the hellfires of combat, the paramilitary operatives of the covert organization known as Stony Man are the President's first response team when crisis strikes. Unencumbered by red tape or protocol, they've got no margin for error.If Stony Man can't stop it, most likely nobody else can– especially now, as they race to halt the release of a computer virus before hell on earth becomes a reality….Project: Cold Earth is a malignant computer worm capable of destabilizing nuclear reactors to the point of meltdown. It's the brainchild of a CIA freelancer who's become a high-value target for the good guys and the bad. Now the virus is in the wrong hands, along with its creator, and everybody–the hunters, the buyers and the sellers–are crowding the front lines. It's a desperate countdown for Stony Man, a nightmare made in the U.S., but poised to take down the rest of the globe…
“IS OUR PACKAGE BACK THERE?”
“Unknown,” Jack Grimaldi replied. “But these guys put down a cop.”
Lyons cursed under his breath. An instant later Blancanales fell in step with him. At the same time the Able Team leader caught the sound of sirens closing in from the distance, the wails eliciting another oath.
The ex-LAPD cop keyed his throat mike and spoke. “Get the bird into the air. And call the Farm for a cleanup crew on this. Tell Hal or Barb to start greasing the wheels. Otherwise we’ll be stuck here.”
“Roger that, Ironman,” Grimaldi said.
Blancanales had stepped in close to a nearby building, raising his weapon to cover Lyons while the man edged along the line of the store until he reached the mouth of an alley. Halting, he craned his neck to peer around the corner. Another shot rang out, followed by a strangled cry.
Gabe Fox was nowhere in sight.

This book is dedicated with sincere respect and appreciation to the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, Ohio Marine Reserve, for its service in Iraq. You’re heroes all. “Thank you” seems woefully inadequate recompense, particularly for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We owe you so much.
Also dedicated to the loving memory of Carol—wife, mother and my favorite reader. Charlie misses you and so do I.
And, last but not least, to Bill C., my other favorite reader. Keep fighting the good fight, my man.
