Abstract:
Pete McCauley, middle-aged hero of the Korean and Vietnam wars, suffers a head injury in what appears to be a hunting accident and wakes up with trauma-induced amnesia. He is suddenly a man without a past, a man determined to find out who he is – and why someone seems intent on killing him. His search for answers leads him from his comfortable bachelor pad in San Francisco into the shadowy world of rogue CIA agents, neo-Nazis, anti-government militia and a plot to plunge the nation into into an all-out war against international communism, beginning in the nation’s own backyard.
