			        		Mission Octagon . . . or . . . Mission Treason? In England in 1959, a ten-year-old boy is threatened into silence after he inadvertently overhears the code name of a highly classified World War II mission&#x97;Mission Octagon. From the gang-infested streets of Miami to the killing fields of Vietnam to the corridors of an all-black college in Savannah, Georgia, the secret of Mission Octagon follows Kevin Smith for twenty years. Smitty discovers too late that forces exist which will go to any lengths to protect this secret, including killing the innocent and framing him for murder. Driven by hatred and a desire for revenge, he sets out to kill three men: &quot;The person who did the dirty work, the person who told him to do it, and person who told them where to look.&quot; To destroy this sinister group, Smitty must learn their methods of operation, and use those same sadistic techniques against them. He follows almost-cold trails that yield disjointed clues&#x97;clues that others are trying just as desperately to conceal. He journeys on when others think him crazy, the price of admission great personnel sacrifice, and the bill paid in the immeasurable cost of human lives. Slowly, he realizes that the answers he seeks are to be found at the highest levels of the United States Government. Ultimately, Smitty must choose between carrying out his personal mission of vengeance or abandoning it for a higher righteous cause. And as a result, Smitty will discover the cost of living solely for revenge. Mission Octagon is the first novel by an exciting new voice in fiction. In the tradition of Stephen Coonts and Harold Coyle, Ken Smith has created a riveting thriller that combines crackling dialogue, gripping military action, and an edge-of-your-seat finale.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Mission Octagon
  

*by D***S on September 21, 2008*









  
  
    A great book, I was hooked from the beginning. Mission Octagon spans a lifetime of Kevin from his childhood as a military brat to his rough teenage years to his stint in Vietnam to adulthood. You watch him grow,evolve and change from a child to man with many side trips in between. The part during the Vietnam War was so realistic, maybe a too realistic for some. The theme of "doing the right thing" vs "doing what is right" is woven all throughout the book. Just when you think you have things figured out, Ken Smith throws in another piece of the puzzle you weren't counting on. Looking forward to the next book!

    Compelling, Riveting Novel Leaves Reader Wanting More
  

*by N***Y on May 18, 2009*









  
  
    What makes a hero? In this espionage thriller by first-time novelist Ken Smith family, war and social upheaval force a young man to discover that for him, honor can't be compromised and a violent, virulent truth can't be evaded. The writing is very, very good: a highly personal style that tempts the reader to savor the word-craft despite a captivating plot that drives through multiple misdirections to a highly satisfying conclusion.Mission Octagon is to-the-minute current in its blurring of the boundaries between mystery and military espionage, character study and historic thriller. While the novel is sweeping in concept from World War II to gangs in Miami to Viet Nam to racial unrest in Savannah, the intimate perspective of the highly likeable hero keeps the reader personally involved.  Buy it. You'll like it. Let's all hope Mr. Smith writes another.

    Gripping -- kept me reading
  

*by E***R on September 26, 2008*









  
  
    Smith has written a real fast ride: you keep reading and reading trying to figure out where he's going.  Having protested my way through the Viet Nam war as a young teen, and then served in the Navy myself as a young adult, I found the history and perspective wonderful reading.
