Teri Altro has been assigned to be part of a drug task force, but she’s barely had time to settle into the position when an attempt is made on her life, luckily Walker is there to thwart it. Walker is a mystical sort of Vietnam War era Jason Bourne, that seems to have the ability to tell the future, as well as excellent fighting skills, and other seemingly magical abilities acquired from his adoptive Hmong family. The present situation with Altro is tied in with things that happened during the Vietnam War, and the stories of past and present were seamlessly woven into a great story about honor and family ties. I found the war flashbacks particularly compelling, and Walker was such an interesting character. Altro was a little harder to like, but she was very authentically painted, as a driven career woman. Great story!
