East meets West in this story of two quintessential twenty-first-century women. The American: Debbie Armbruster, a Special Ops captain of a platoon of buff, cocky, fire eating Rangers infiltrating Afghanistan in the dead of night. She's razor sharp, confident and stoic. The mission: Long Range Recon operations in a war intended to bring down the Taliban by air power alone. The Afghan: Zaynab, a village girl living in the dark ages but determined to win her freedom and her country's liberation from fundamentalism. They are thrown together in a time of great danger and crisis. Complicate matters by introducing Shawn McNeil, second in command-a scrumptious, oh baby please save me, modern chauvinist. A former football hero, now a tough, disciplined lieutenant whose heart is in trouble. Immersed in horrible atrocities, friendly fire and collateral damage, they must forge a bond that tests their leadership, reveals their Moral Courage and allows them to get out alive.
