Stone in a Sling is a story based on the real-life experiences of a modern soldier. Serving from 1980 to 2005, Scott Meehan was what is known colloquially as a Maverick; a soldier who started out as an enlisted man and later became an officer. With an amazing career that spans 25 years, he rose from Private E1 to Major. During his tenure he saw more than his share of amazing events. From surviving a terrorist attack in Colombia, to meeting the girl of his dreams in the Amazon jungles of Ecuador. There were encounters with the Soviets in East Berlin, interrogations with Iraqi prisoners during Desert Storm, and obtaining key information that ultimately led to the capture of Saddam Hussein. This is a true soldier's-story that you will not want to miss.
