Captain Gringo - courting deadly intrigue and lusty women in the war zones of El Salvador!
In steamy jungle or on misty mountains, courageous Captain Gringo battles man and beast to make the world a better place for the lowly and oppressed. Of course, all war and no play makes for a dull Renegade. And this time, he discovers just how playful a bevy of man-hungry lady refugees can be! Such delicious distraction is welcome in the Captain's confrontation with Sir Basil Hakim, the infamous death merchant of perverted tastes and unlimited ambition, who is plotting a coup of globe-shattering proportions that could leave America's Panama Canal on the ash heap of history!
