Buddha's Crown — Duncan Long

A god is gone. The young Dalai Lama, the supreme political and spiritual leader of Tibet, disappears amid a bloody kidnapping by a crack force of Major Chen Ling's communist Chinese commandos. This is bad news for U.S. foreign policy, and the military leaders who seek Tibet's freedom to gain strategic international ground. The President orders a covert rescue of the Dalai Lama to undermine the Chinese hold on Tibet. Enter Captain Jefferson Davis "Oz" Carson and the Night Stalkers. To carry out the mission, they must survive a hellfire of air attacks and earthbound death and destruction... then all they have to do is get out alive.
