The Scout: (Elite Edition)
A Hellhound Cycle Novel
A soldier never really comes home. He just learns how to carry what followed him.Some wars never end. Some ghosts refuse to stay buried.
Staff Sergeant Elijah Kane has spent years outrunning the guilt of a mission gone wrong - the operation that cost him his closest friend, Corporal Miguel Rios. When a faint signal from the past resurfaces, Kane is pulled back into a covert world where truth is classified, enemies wear familiar faces, and the line between memory and reality begins to fracture.
What starts as a classified recovery mission unravels into a web of intelligence manipulation, black-budget warfare, and buried programs that were never meant to surface. Drawn into the shadows of the Cerberus Directorate and hunted by forces that should not exist, Kane is forced to confront what really happened the night Rios disappeared - and what followed him home.
When a journalist connected to Rios vanishes inside a restricted zone in Eastern Europe, Kane must choose between orders and redemption. What he finds waiting in the snow is not just an enemy, but a system built on silence, guilt, and engineered obedience... and a truth no soldier should have to carry alone.
Forged in combat and written with brutal honesty, The Scout is a pulse-tightening military thriller about brotherhood, moral injury, and the cost of survival after war. Grounded in realism and driven by character, it explores the battles that don't end when the shooting stops - and the ghosts every soldier brings back with them.
Perfect for readers of gritty, realistic military thrillers who value authenticity, emotional weight, and consequence over spectacle.
