Road To
There are two books in the series.
Unlike the usual books by Ludlum, The Road to Gandolfo tends to be overwhelmingly humorous. There is a sequel to this story called The Road to Omaha. The character MacKenzie Hawkins is also mentioned fleetingly in Robert Ludlum’s novel The Bourne Identity, where he is mentioned to have previously served in Burma.
Several years after the events of The Road to Gandolfo, the Hawk has discovered a long-forgotten treaty between the US government and a tribe of Native Americans. This treaty granted the tribe a vast area of land that has since become Omaha, Nebraska, and includes the home of the Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Base. Posing as a member of the tribe, the Hawk plans to bring suit against the United States and force it to give the land to the tribe. To further this goal, he ropes Devereaux (now retired from the military) into representing the tribe in court.
