a| Kill Zone features a serial sniper bent on avenging his father's murder during the last days of the Vietnam War. His targets are the men guilty of, but never prosecuted for, the murder. It begins in 1970. Nixon had just announced the massive withdrawal of troops from Vietnam. For the men and women in-country, getting out alive suddenly superseded merely surviving the war. But some, bound by duty and honor and patriotic pride, still continued doing the job. Such was the case with Major Ralph Longbaugh, the senior battalion operations officer within a brigade of the Fourth Division. The men are tired of the killing, of the blood, of worrying who's next to die. It's time to go home and no one had better get in their way. And the only way to stop Major Longbaugh is to kill him. The murder is executed in the guise of a Viet Cong ambush; despite the confession by a squad member, the facts of the murder are lost in a muddle of circumstantial evidence. The guilty squad members are sent home as free men. Longbaugh's family is told the major died in action, and the case is closed. Ten years later a tireless, years-long journey of revenge inadvertently is set in motion, as the son of the long-dead major systematically and methodically hunts down and kills off each of the surviving members of the murderous squad.
