The first novel in an exciting new series from the bestselling
author of Bravo Two Zero.
Sometimes the toughest battle you fight is with yourself... Two
tours of Iraq under his belt, Sergeant Dave Henley has seen
something of how modern battles are fought. But nothing can prepare
him for the posting to Forward Operating Base Senzhiri, Helmand
Province, Afghanistan. This is a warzone like even he's never seen
before.
He's in charge of 1 Platoon, a ragbag collection of rookies who he
must meld into a fighting force, and fast. The Afghanistan conflict
is as harsh and unforgiving as the country itself. Their convoy is
ambushed before they even reach the FOB, and two of his men are
grievously wounded, one scorched beyond recognition, the other left
with only one leg.
Back at home, the families of the men -- and women -- at the front
wait anxiously for news. Dave's wife, Jenny, seven months pregnant,
must try to hold together the fragile lives of those they left
behind, all of whom remain in constant dread of the knock on the
door and the visit from the Families Officer, whose job it is to
deliver the bad news.
War Torn traces the interwoven stories of one platoon's experience
of warfare in the Twenty First Century. Packed with the searing
danger and high-octane excitement of modern combat, it also
explores the impact of its aftershocks upon
the soldiers themselves, and upon those who love them. It will take
you straight into the heat of battle and the hearts of those who
are burned by it.
