SAR response from one of the Sky Watch satellites."
"How did that happen?"
"I'm not sure." Kurtzman's fingers flew over his
keyboard, locking in the signal. "But I'd say that the
TR-3 passed close enough to activate the SAR im-
plant, and it's responding now."
After the near crisis that arose back in 1996 when
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown died in a
plane crash while attempting to land at Dubrovnik,
all high-ranking U.S. officials visiting the Bosnian
region had been given one of the new military
SAR--Search And Rescue--implants.
These were subminiature electronic beacons that
would respond to a coded signal that could be sent
by a satellite, a search aircraft or by the radios of
ground-search teams. Designed to be practically in-
destructible, the implants had a battery capable of
sending the signal continuously for seven days. Since
the signal was sent only in response to an activation,
the implants could stay "hot" for several weeks, if
not months, after their first remote activation.
Hammer's TR-3 had been sent to see if it could
activate a SAR implant that had failed to respond to
satellite activation. The man who was wearing that
implant was down over Bosnia, and the President
was anxious to get him back with as little fanfare as
possible. Stony Man Farm hadn't been officially

it was coming.
"But," Brognola asked, "can you tell which im-
plant is squawking? Wouldn't that Night Owl pilot
have been wearing one, as well?"
Kurtzman looked at the electronic code on his
screen. "It matches the SAR code we were told to
look for."
"It's Richard Lacy, then. He's in Bosnia, right?"
Brognola growled around his cigar. He wasn't in the
mood to listen to more bad news right now. The dis-
appearance of Richard Lacy on a diplomatic helicop-
ter flight over Bosnia had the Oval Office in an up-
roar. Not only was the retired State Department
official a valued adviser to the White House, but he
was also a close friend of the President. Brognola
wanted to be able to report that he had been found.
