Operation Stealth

In post-WWII Laos, Vietnamese communists secretly infiltrate the kingdom. They are countered by four Lao moles who try to thwart these aims. Gurkha Colonel Jason Rance, appointed as military attaché, becomes embroiled in a confrontation between a Lao mole and a Thai spy, and is targeted by the KGB and Vietnamese communists because of a ring given to him by the mole. Rance's Lao language instructors are nieces of the Lao king, and the story explores whether he can prevent the spread of communism and delay the king's coronation. Based on historical fact and the author's personal experience, Operation Stealth is the fourth book in a series involving Gurkha military units, including Operation Black Rose, Operation Janus, Operation Blind Spot, and Operation Four Rings. The author, JP Cross, draws on real characters and events from his military career.
