By David Zimmerman

Book Overview

" A] gripping first novel." --The New York Times Book Review Operating Base Cornucopia: a three-hundred-year-old fortress in the remote Iraqi desert where a few dozen soldiers wait for their next assignment, among them Private Toby Durrant, a self-described "broke nobody." Then a deadly ambush touches off events that put Durrant in the middle of a far-reaching conspiracy. Insurgents massing in the nearby hills, a secretive member of military intelligence, an abandoned toy factory and a mysterious, half-feral child--Durrant must figure out the links between them if he's to survive.
