The author's words; “the unit exited from the front door of the Mosque with Jack leading his platoon down the dusty road toward home. The soldiers were on high alert for snipers and kept to the middle of the road, giving a wide berth to anything remotely resembling an IED. For thirty minutes, they marched south along the unsecured main road they’d driven in on. Jack and Iggy shared what food and water they had left in their packs with the others. Tim had given all of his to the wounded left behind. An approaching flatbed truck gave the platoon its first chance to escape the dangerous trek back to Camp Liberty on foot.”
This author is trying different genres and this story's approach was captivating, with romance and conspiracy surrounding the lives of veterans. All struggling to survive in difficult chaos in a faraway land and still find hope to continue on even with all threats they faced. There is even some light humor in-between.
