Chance Barkley left the drug world in the seventies but is approached by a name from the past, Bull Curry, who heads the Armadillo Express, a Texas based syndicate who has controlled the southwest for over 30 years with ties that go deep into Mexico. Curry has unearthed Harlan Taggert, a DEA agent out of the El Paso office who has been digging around one of his operatives, Juan Ramirez, and wants to put a deal together. Curry wants him stopped. When you mix retired trouble shooters, the Texas syndicate, and dirty federal agents with ten million dollars to spend on cocaine and heroin, you get the idea that the southern border is wide open, and any dog can rule the pack. It's as real as the thousands of dead bodies that are buried from Culiacan to El Paso, and it's a daily occurrence on our southern border except it allows the CIA and the DEA to liaison for the first time ever. Terminal Exposure is all these things and more. It will tell you how it was, how it is and how it will never change unless this new strike team succeeds in stopping Taggert and proving his guilt to the DEA. The first of a three-part series, Terminal Exposure sets the tone for everything that is happening now from Brownsville, Texas to Tiajuana Mexico, from Peking to Sinaloa, and from the White House to China.
