When the mission goes south and politics intrude on their plans, the team must rely on their wits-and guts-to survive. Can they make it…with a wounded team member and a female civilian in tow? Story Behind the Book"I met Chuck Holton a few years ago when he took my fiction classes at the Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference. I enjoyed him because my life experience is so different from his. When it was time to develop a new fiction series, I thought it would be fun to combine his military background with my civilian background and write a series right out of today's headlines. He has basically written the male points of view, and I've done the female. Very challenging and great fun!" -Gayle Roper
