Synopsis

Equipped with telescopic, microscopic, and infrared vision, the strength of thirty men and reflexes beyond those of any Olympic athlete, Solo also has a brain. Bill Stewart, the gawky co-owner of Electron Dynamics, has created the thing most computer engineers only dream a machine can learn. Sent on a trial in Costa Rica with Bill and General Clyde Haynes, Solo monitors a Pentagon transmission ordering him shipped back to Florida for reprogramming. In a helicopter chase beneath the jungle canopy, Solo crashes his chopper, crawls out of the wreckage and, as his batteries begin to run out, escapes across the border into Nicaragua. Robert Mason, author of the New York Times bestselling Vietnam War memoir, "Chickenhawk", enters entirely new territory in a smashing fiction debut.
