The Black Kachina
In the desert badlands of Southern California, Air Force Colonel Maggie Black loses a cruise missile equipped with powerful explosives, reporter Jordan Scott returns a dead shaman’s magic basket, and a bitter half-breed named Asdrubal Torres hears the Great Spirit tell him to refill Lake Cahuilla, an ancient sea that once covered much of California. Colonel Maggie, by losing a powerful weapon, and reporter Scott, by restoring the local tribe’s enchanted basket, provide Torres with exactly the tools he needs. Now Maggie and Jordan race against time, the desert, and Torres’s cunning plan to stop a devastating flood designed to kill tens of thousands.

Jack Getze's departure from the Austin Carr series was well worth the wait. The action and twists come at you with the speed of a super-charged missile. Getze's story featuring Colonel Maggie Black's and her audacious tenacity to recover her lost experiment, and the exciting conclusion, are the stuff great movies are born from. If you like action with some great characters, this is the book for you.
This is the first book I've read in one setting in years. Years, I tells ya.
