Synopsis "Operation Hoplon: Weapons of War: The Joshua Booker Origin Story (Joshua Booker ACXN Thrillers)"
Adopted. Abused. Anointed. Joshua Booker has faced it all. As a young boy, Joshua Booker and his adoptive mother, Rachael, escape an abusive home and find refuge in rural Kentucky, where they are cared for by Joshua’s uncle and aunt, Samuel and Lucy Rutland. As Joshua grows, he realizes that the man affectionately known as “Uncle Sam” is far more than a farmer and consultant. His seemingly ordinary life is a façade masking his involvement with a covert, quasi-governmental group known as ACXN. At 17, Joshua experiences three life-changing events that confirm his decision to follow in his uncle’s footsteps and join the Marines. Determined to make a difference in a post-9/11 world, Joshua sets his sights on special forces. Years later, fate intervenes when Manning, a mysterious figure from Joshua’s past and Sam’s present, approaches Joshua with a proposition: join Sam on a mission to take down an arms dealer in Venezuela. At his uncle’s request, Joshua embarks on a journey that will test his strength, courage, and loyalty like never before. Operation Hoplon: Weapons of War is a gripping tale of one man’s quest to find his place in a world under constant attack from unfriendly forces. With its pulse-pounding action, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes, this novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
