Operation Tombstone
(2024)(The third book in the Ghost Cavalry Battalion series)
A novel by J L Salter and William Alan Webb
September 1986
“When the KGB orchestrates a massacre at the heart of the Ghost Cavalry Battalion, Team Spearpoint braces for Operation Tombstone, where rules are forsaken, vengeance fuels the mission, and the hunt for a traitor turns lethal.”
In the eerie calm post-rescue of Abilene, Team Spearpoint’s sanctuary morphs into a grave site — Medicine Lodge, meant to be a healing haven for the injured, has been violated and drenched in the blood of their own by merciless KGB infiltrators. The lament for Durango, their comrade presumed safe in recovery, rises into a tempest of grief as he and others are callously dispatched in their most vulnerable state, their silent rest shattered forever.
Chiseled into Honcho and his unyielding Spearpoint warriors is a solemn oath: to track the treachery threading through their ranks, dispense swift retribution upon the shadow who cast this grim fate upon their brethren, and obliterate the menace that has dared to strike them deep within their own walls.
Yet the echoes of betrayal resonate beyond loss — the KGB, heinous in their victory, now possess the lifeblood of intelligence from the murdered strikers’ records and the captive guardian of their secrets, the Battalion’s doctor. The race against the clicking clock is on, as Battalion leaders Smoke and Geist harness a network of CIA allies, igniting all four of Raven’s strike teams into an orchestrated assault of fury and precision.
Their target: enigmatic and fortified, hiding the enemy within with a treasured hostage in tow. As the intricate web of possible sanctuaries tightens, each team, driven by the raw ache for justice, advances like spectral reapers in the night — a unified force lashing out for a reckoning so personal that the conventional playbook is rendered obsolete.
In Operation Tombstone’s shadow, the battalion roars into action, their cause singular and unyielding — no stone will be left unturned, no darkness unchallenged, until vengeance is theirs and the heart of their enemy lies still in recompense for a deed so unspeakable, it has redefined their very essence of war.
Genre: Thriller
