About this ebook

A Special Forces operative reveals the true story of his secret double life, carrying out the US government's high-risk missions.

The Final Mission: Spooky 8 tells the story of Bob King, who for seventeen years, beginning with his military career as a member of the Special Forces Unit in Vietnam, undertook classified operations without US military involvement. Then, in 1992, King and his men, secret members of a US Tactical Reconnaissance Team, were sent to Colombia. The mission was "an easy breather," until the men walked into an ambush and found out the real reason they were there. They had been sent to die. With three men dead, and King himself wounded, the band of mercenaries began a desperate battle for survival—and for the truth—that led from South America all the way to Washington, DC.

Now, in this chilling, action-packed book, Bob King goes public: with the covert operations he carried out, the hidden deals he witnessed, and the horrific shadow war he survived—against a US government desperate to bury its secrets and its own men.

Bob King was born and raised in Wenatchee, Washington. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the army and eventually reached the rank of sergeant. While serving in Vietnam in 1973, King experienced his first encounter with the military's "black operations" as an unwitting participant in Operation Dragon Flower.
