Scorpion: a Covert Ops Novel (Second Edition)
“He lay prone in the tall, dry grass. His rifle rested in front of him, on its bipod legs, the stock nestled comfortably against his right shoulder.
Nearby, he heard crickets chirp, and eight feet away, a rabbit lazily chewed on the ends of grass, oblivious to the human’s presence.
Although his finger was poised over the trigger guard, he was relaxed and not looking for targets, at least not with the intention of shooting. The Trijicon advanced optical scope allowed him to see out to two thousan...d-plus feet. At the moment, however, there was little to observe. Other than a couple Russian troops occasionally wandering by or stepping out of a hangar for a smoke, there’d been no activity.
Avery didn’t use night optics. There was ample lighting around the airfield at 10:00PM. The main hangar, a tall, wide building large enough to hold four MiGs, and the control tower were both well lit. The runway itself was illuminated, too, by high floodlights.
Poacher and Flounder were positioned almost half a mile southwest on the opposite end of the airfield.MoreLess
