About the Book

Afghanistan is America's longest, but most forgotten war. The fatigue of war may have blunted the horror of the 9/11 attack for some Americans, but for Lieutenant Brock Waite and the fifty thousand other American soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, 9/11 represents the first battle of a war that exceeds a dozen years. It is a harsh and unforgiving reality. No American soldier can recognize the enemy, and our rules of engagement constrain them. The Taliban and al-Qaeda mix into the population to marshal their forces in the northeast territories, to infiltrate, to murder and to regain their draconian Islamic State. They act without any constraints. Death is not feared by the jihadist; to be a holy martyr is revered. After visiting New York's Ground Zero, an extraordinary child makes a solemn oath. He devotes his life to become an elite soldier to fight the spread of jihadist terrorism. Now the child has grown, and Lieutenant Brock Waite is center stage in one of the most dangerous prisoner rescues ever attempted. Unknown to the young Lieutenant or NATO Command, al-Qaeda has secretly stolen a nuclear bomb from Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. They intend to transport it to Iran in exchange for enough cash to operate their terrorist organization for decades. The two British prisoners are caught in the web of Osama bin Laden's legacy mission, face interrogation and certain death. Their only hope is a single Special Forces soldier who mounts a mission to trek across the Hindu Kush Mountains to a small isolated valley to find and rescue them.
About the Author: Based on military history, current geopolitics and the brutal Afghanistan War, this book of fiction focuses on our forgotten heroes: Joshua Chamberlain, Sergeant York, General Jimmy Doolittle and the other Medal of Honor recipients who sacrificed to change the course of our nation. My first novel is a reminder to my children, my grandchildren and future generations that the blessings of freedom are bound inevitably to those who serve. J.R. Shehorn and his wife live in Southern California.
