In this book, Billy’s Rescue, the seventh book of the Asps series, (and 16th Jim Scott Book), Billy Garcia is taken captive by an Islamist group, intent on questioning him.  Once away from that group, Billy is kidnapped by a press-gang type operation of Taliban and al-Qaida 'recruiters' inside Afghanistan.  In both cases, pity the terrorists, because they know not what they have done, nor what they let themselves in for.  While Billy is dealing with his problems, the rest of the Asps, the Scotts, and friends, deal with tracking down CIA traitors, who had been recommended to the CIA by the White House.  With al-Qaida intent on setting up a drug operation in Colombia, the team once again visits that country, to thwart the Islamists.  Also in this book, a very rich liberal supporter of the President gets crossways with Jim Scott—never a good idea.       In this book, the team and friends twice have to divert from their other engagements to 'rescue' Billy Garcia, from Islamists holding him.  Some should have been trying to rescue the terrorists instead.  The back story of this book—outside of dealing with the international Islamist problem—concerns how a very rich liberal individual nearly causes great embarrassment to the President—and dumps a major problem in the lap of the new Director of the CIA, who previously wasn’t too sure just how good an idea the Asps really were.
