Filled with gritty authenticity and non-stop action, Short Mission is the thrilling second book of the McGregor and Moore book series! Author D.J. Scott, a retired Navy Medical Officer and Iraq veteran, delivers in this action-packed novel that will keep readers on edge with each page. Navy medical officer Mike McGregor and Marine Captain Kelli Moore barely survived a mission to recover stolen nuclear warheads. Their unit was left behind and both were wounded during their escape. Now, the president has ordered them to find and rescue a source who knows who is behind a series of nerve gas attacks on American soil. The operation is being run by CIA Officer Jennifer Kim, whose last op ended with her agent being killed. Their source is in Britain and for reasons unknown, and the British are working hard to keep the U.S. from finding him. McGregor and Moore go undercover and with the help of Moore’s grandfather, a former intelligence officer, they begin the search in London. Almost immediately, their cover unravels and a series of ambushes, each more violent than the last, ensues. Finally, they locate the source on a distant island. CIA Officer Kim brings vital supplies, and it appears they have made good their escape, only to confront an even more dangerous opponent.
