A catastrophic earthquake ravages Afghanistan, and American troops rush to deliver aid, among them Afghan Air Force adviser Lieutenant Colonel Michael Parson, and his interpreter, Sergeant Major Sophia Gold. The devastation facing them is like nothing theyโve ever seen, howeverโand itโs about to get worse.
A Taliban splinter group, Black Crescent, is conducting its own campaignโshooting medical workers, downing helicopters, slaughtering anyone who dares to accept aid. With the U.S. drawing down and coalition forces spread thin, it is up to Parson, Gold, and Parsonโs Afghan aircrews to try to figure out how to strike back. But theyโre short of supplies, men, experience, and informationโand meanwhile the terrorists seem to be nowhere . . . and everywhere.
