130,000 Words // First Draft Completed
Shattered by repeated family tragedy, a grief-stricken young man treats an unexpected inheritance with disdain, choosing instead to forge a hard life of purpose inside the rugged ranks of the US Army—only for his fierce devotion to his new military brotherhood to trap him in a lethal CIA web after a frantic cloudburst search to save his first true love violently collides with a black-market smuggling pipeline.

Two weeks after the cloudburst collision, JTF-7 is deployed into the 1995 Balkan theater under a dangerous dual mandate: provide a close-protection shield for an appointed NATO war crimes investigator, and execute a status-black intelligence hunt behind the tree line. Trapped in mismatched British camouflage and carrying sanitized weapons, Sergeant Gannon and PFC Ward find their official forensic mission instantly fractured when they cross the mountains and collide with a desperate search for an elder contact’s missing daughter.
