Powell's Books

Tom Willard's critically acclaimed Black Sabre Chronicles trace the 130-year history of the Sharps military family from the time of the Western Indian Wars through the two World Wars, Vietnam, and, in this fifth and final novel, the Gulf War of 1990-1991.

Lieutenant Argonne Sharps is a West Pointer and the only black woman to pilot a Kiowa reconnaissance helicopter in the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles" division. She is assigned to the Persian Gulf in preparation for the 101st's deployment to Saudi Arabia in Operation Desert Shield, and in its behind-the-lines assault into Iraq in Operation Desert Storm.

Her valor in "extracting" Special Forces officer Jerome Moody from Kuwait City earns Argonne a Bronze Star citation and Moody's undying gratitude-and love.
Argonne's experiences in the Gulf War impact her family at the Black Sabre Ranch in Arizona-a military family anguishing over seeing their beloved daughter become the first woman, and fifth generation of Sharpses to go to war.

Tom Willard's intimate knowledge of combat-earned in Vietnam-gives Sword of Valor a special ring of authenticity as the brief, high-tech war unfolds, and the Sharps family history of warfare unfolds with it.
