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 theyβve ever seen, howeverβand itβs about to get worse.
A Taliban splinter group, Black Crescent, is conducting its own campaignβshooting 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 Parsonβs Afghan aircrews to try to figure out how to strike back. But theyβre short of supplies, men, experience, and informationβand meanwhile the terrorists seem to be nowhere . . . and everywhere.
