From the award-winning author of We, the Drowned comes a brutal,
unflinching, and bestselling epic novel of a platoon of soldiers
descending into the insanity of the war in Afghanistan. Dispatched
to fight the Taliban as part of the NATO forces, the soldiers of
the Third Platoon arrive in a desert hell intent on testing their
courage and endurance. Among them are the charismatic platoon
leader Schroder, a former games designer fascinated by the
imaginative potential of war; Colonel Steffensen, whose negotiating
tactics will have deadly consequences; Sidekick, the LifeLogger
whose online "war memorial" will blur into horror; and the hardened
but vulnerable Hannah, who must bury her womanhood-or sacrifice her
soul. Confronted by a betrayal that no military training could
prepare them for, the soldiers must embark on a desperate mission
to track down an enemy whose methods are as murderous as they are
unfathomable. As the hunters become the hunted, the mission turns
into a depraved, hallucinatory voyage into an Afghanistan they
never knew existed. With the Third Platoon's most fundamental
notions of good and evil called into question, survival becomes
their only mission. An explicitly brutal portrait of battle told
with the propulsion of a harrowing psychological thriller, The
First Stone is a stunning and epic depiction of comradeship,
humanity, and the bestial realities of a conflict without end.
