Plot Summary of Night of the Hawk
"David Luger died on the Old Dog mission five years ago... or so it was thought. A covert mission has stumbled upon his existence in a top-secret Russian camp, and now Elliott and McClanahan will do anything to get him out before he outlives his usefulness with the Russians...A suspensful, action-filled thriller and a wonderful addition to any Brown fan's collection..."
Jacob Hurt, Resident Scholar
