THE THIRD OPTION

A Jacob Dedman Short Story

by Larry Darter
Former U.S. Army Ranger Jacob Dedman embarks on his first CIA mission after completing intense paramilitary special operations training. Tasked with assassinating a tin-pot dictator cozying up to the Russians and communist Chinese, Dedman soon realizes there’s more to the mission than meets the eye. As he navigates unforeseen challenges and life-threatening situations, Dedman must rely on his wits and instincts to survive. Will he emerge victorious or become a casualty of his own mission?
