The Sanchez brothers control the most powerful and prolific drug cartel in Mexico. One brother wants to maintain the status quo of murder and violence, but the other brother wants more and begins planning an attack on American soil. Caught in the middle is Federico Montelongo, a professional card counter on weekends and a family man during the week. His only goals in life are to be the best father and husband he can be and to make up for the time he lost while in prison. His only weapon is his intellect; it's good enough to keep him hidden from the gatekeepers of Vegas's money, but is he astute enough to stay alive long enough to foil the Sanchez brothers? Their attack will cripple the United States and allow a coalition of Latin American armies to retake the land Mexico lost in the Mexican American War-and neither the FBI nor any other intelligence agency knows it's coming. The heart-pumping action of Operation Blackjack takes place on both sides of the border, from Mexico to south Texas to Las Vegas. Every man wonders if he has what it takes to be a hero, but only a few have the chance to find out.
