to their must-read lists.” —Booklist
“Riveting. Readers of any genre will gnaw their fingernails to
the quick.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
a
catastrophic earthquake ravages Afghanistan, and
American troops rush to deliver aid, among them
Afghan Air Force adviser Lieutenant Colonel Michael
Parson, and his interpreter, Sergeant Major Sophia Gold. The
devastation facing them is like nothing they’ve ever seen, however—and
it’s about to get worse.
A Taliban splinter group, Black Crescent, is conducting its
own campaign—shooting medical workers, downing helicopters,
slaughtering anyone who dares to accept aid. With the U.S.
drawing down and coalition forces spread thin, it is up to Parson,
Gold, and Parson’s Afghan aircrews to try to figure out how to
strike back. But they’re short of supplies, men, experience, and
information—and meanwhile the terrorists seem to be nowhere
. . . and everywhere.
