| Plot Summary of Destination Gold |
|---|
"Demo Dick Marcinko, Stevie Wonder, and other favorites of Rogue Manor travel from Mother Russia to the Middle East to track down stolen nuclear weapon parts. Too many state agencies from friendly and not so friendly nations have invisible hands moving essential nuclear weapon manufacturing components. The team receives protection and muscle from the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff to shoot and loot in order to derail the manufacturing party. "Mister Officer" Marcinko must join forces with an old, but friendly Israei Mossad agent, Avi, to thwart a billionaire financier from reaping a financial windfall. Standing in our hero's path are the Russian mafiya, and a Mossad traitor."
Jerry Naradzay, Resident Scholar
