Mission Critical (Jack Kincaid Thriller Series Book 11) In the unforgiving jungles of Central America, humanitarian aid is a deadly disguise, and the local cartel is merely a puppet for a global evil... Jack Kincaid, the battle-scarred ex-operative seeking a quiet life on his Florida boat, is reluctantly pulled back into the inferno. His former ally, the straight-shooting Texas Ranger Cordell, vanishes while investigating a new, brutally efficient cartel operating south of the border. Cordell's last, desperate message speaks of something far more sinister than drugs or human smuggling: a deep connection to the shadowy Ouroboros syndicate and illicit shipments of advanced weapon components moving under the cynical cover of humanitarian aid. Driven by loyalty and the chilling implications of Ouroboros's new venture, Kincaid plunges into the lawless, jungle-choked corridors of Central America. Going undercover as a disposable driver for 'Los Jaguares Sagrados' - The Sacred Jaguars - he witnesses firsthand their military precision and ruthless control. He quickly confirms the cartel is a sophisticated proxy for Ouroboros, their convoys of "relief supplies" a Trojan horse for high-tech weaponry destined to fuel Ouroboros's global agenda. With Cordell a captive pawn and time running out, Kincaid must navigate a deadly gauntlet of treacherous river runs stalked by cartel patrols, intense jungle firefights, and the constant threat of betrayal. His pursuit leads him to a clandestine jungle airfield, the nerve center of the operation, where the true, terrifying nature of Ouroboros's "special cargo" is laid bare. In a desperate, one-man gamble, Kincaid launches an assault to rescue Cordell and destroy the shipment, culminating in an explosive showdown with the cartel's sadistic leader, 'El Jaguar', and Ouroboros's elite handlers. But even if he shatters this Ouroboros operation, Kincaid knows the syndicate views such setbacks as mere calculated losses, always protecting the head of the serpent.
