Lero and Jean have worked for Jefe in a unit located at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona for more than a year. After his last "project," Jefe and the President assured Lero that he would not be put in danger again. This latest "project" gives Lero an opportunity to plan and direct a very important undertaking. His crew will parachute into Iran to ex-filtrate a woman who has been supplying information about the nuclear weapons program for some years. She has input a computer virus into the mainframe computer of the nuclear site which has caused complete chaos, damaged many centrifuges and necessitated the recycling of the isotopes that were in the centrifuges when the virus caused them to over-speed. Because she is now under growing suspicion, Lero and his crew must Go Get Nadja.

Lero and Jean have been working to prepare others to go off on "projects" for more than a year. Lero is in charge of a unit of special operators which is located on the northeast corner of Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson and which reports directly to the President. Now, in the middle of the night, the President wants them to join the effort to prevent a group of terrorists from using a missing airliner to transport nuclear, biological and chemical weapons to the target of their anger. Lero and Jean must move fast and the airplane is half a world away. In pursuit, many power levers are pushed to the stops. Hundreds of people are involved in the pursuit. Come along, but pull your seat belt tight.

Mr. Murfree (code name of the President) tells Lero that his contacts have determined that an ally is planning a unilateral strike on a common adversary. Both men realize that this could set off a regional conflict. He asks Lero and his group to get involved.

Lero's Mission is another example of the principle that you never know what is just around the corner, or, in this case, who is sitting behind you just out of sight. Lero is his nomme de guerre and we follow him through a mission he is called to participate in after he has retired from the Air Force and settled down to work as an airframe and power-plant mechanic in western Pennsylvania. True to the procedures of Special Operations, we never find out the real names of several of the people involved in the Mission, but we get to know them pretty well and feel the synergy as they work together on a delicate and dangerous mission. As contractors to a large western democracy, Lero and his crew undertake a mission that is full of danger. It involves a long over-water flight, with multiple aerial refuelings, but that is only the beginning. The special smart bombs aboard are destined for precise targets deep inside a country that has threatened to wipe another country off of the map. Their underground nuclear facilities are the targets of Lero and his crew. Ride along in the jump seat, but pull your seat belt tight.
