Book Overview

When seasoned combat medic Linus "Doc" Winehouse embarks on a seemingly routine mission in Afghanistan, he soon finds himself and his squad ensnared in the fiercest battle they have ever encountered. With unwavering determination, Doc fights relentlessly to protect his comrades, pushing himself to the brink of exhaustion for the sake of their survival. Meanwhile, in the United States, young Carston Thomas harbors dreams of helping the homeless and scaling mountains--much to the chagrin of his protective mother, Chloe. Having been scarred by her tumultuous past, Chloe is determined to shield her son from life's cruelties and dangers. Fate brings Doc and Carston together, setting off a profound transformation in Doc's troubled soul. Plagued by the traumatic memories of war, Doc initially intends to wallow in his anguish and self-destructive tendencies. However, Carston's persistent presence challenges him to confront not only his own demons, but also those that haunt Carston and Chloe. As crime and gang violence encroach on the Thomas family's doorstep, Doc's warrior spirit is reignited. Despite the burden of his emotional turmoil, he resolves to protect those he has come to care for, potentially finding redemption and a friendship worth living for in the process.
