Red, White, and Dead Again

One Dark Overlord; One Flawed Hero; One Grand Prize; One Ultimate Goal: World Domination...Or Freedom....Mercenary Jack Vane activates his wildly diverse Banzai team to recover designs for an ultimate nuclear device stolen from New Mexico A-bomb headquarters in 1945, a bomb so powerful it had to be suppressed before it "blew holes in the sky." But the plans had vanished along with the two young secret agents dispatched to steal them. Now, 66 years later, Jack is hired at gunpoint to deliver the goods, and become wealthy-or die for his failure.
