Maric's War

Maric gets two calls for help. One from a Dayak tribe who helped him take over a diamond mine in Kalimantan being used by a crime boss. The Dayak's traditional nomadic trails through the interior are being blocked by coastal Iban intent on a land grab.

The other call is from a Croatian Special Forces soldier who helped Maric take down the same crime boss in the Albanian mountains. The man's sister and her partner have disappeared in the lawless wilds of northern Kosovo.

Maric's boss can spare him from his Grey Ops work, but he can't support him for either mission. The first one turns out to be straightforward, but the second one sees Maric forming his own army. It's the only way he can combat a powerful figure still wanted by the War Crimes tribunal for atrocities during the Balkan wars.
