The Hour Before Dawn

By Ross Gallen

A POWERFUL NOVEL OF WAR, SURVIVAL AND REDEMPTION In 1975, on the Upper Syrian Plateau, a young soldier named Adam Berlin finds himself trapped in a destroyed armored vehicle, wounded and alone, as enemy forces close in. The night is long, the odds are impossible, and the question is no longer how to win-but how to survive until the first light of dawn. The Hour Before Dawn follows Adam's extraordinary journey from the battlefields of the Middle East to a new life in America. It is a story of war and its aftermath, of family and identity, of love and loss, and of a man searching for purpose in a world shaped by violence, memory and hope. From the searing brutality of combat to the quiet struggles of rebuilding a life, The Hour Before Dawn is a deeply human, emotionally charged novel about endurance, second chances, and the fight that can still be found after the darkest night. "A gripping, unforgettable story of courage, loss and the enduring power of hope."
