Lieutenant Xavier Moran, USMC, better known as "X," is out of
the Afghanistan battlefield-his first reprieve in over sixty days.
As he arrives at the sprawling airbase at Bagram with nothing more
than a pack, a weapon, and a reputation for getting things done, he
secretly wishes he was back in the fight, where life is
helter-skelter. When he is assigned a tough mission by Colonel Fran
Matthews, X has no idea he is about to become immersed in the
rampant corruption that surrounds the Afghan war.
Assigned to assume command of an isolated marine rifle company
in disarray, X faces many challenges, including bringing casualties
in line with operations, raising the marine's morale, and facing
off with the current battalion commander. As he heads to Kotjay to
begin his mission, X is apprehensive. He must succeed; failure
could mean the end of his career-or the end of his life.
In this action-packed military tale, X bravely stands up to the
entrenched powers in Afghanistan. Caught between doing what is
right and doing what is expected, he makes powerful enemies intent
on ensuring his failure. Only time will tell if they will be
successful.
