Publisher's Synopsis
A risky medical mission turns into a nightmare!
When Dr. Melanie Kato contracts with the federal government to perform secret life saving surgery on a budding world leader, she never realizes just how tricky the job is until she gets to a far-flung corner of the Middle East. The local doctors and nurses have fled, the patient is nowhere to be found, and there is artillery shelling and gunfights throughout the city every night. It turns out that the easiest part of the job is doing delicate heart surgery in a rundown hospital hidden inside a sandbag perimeter.
When it's time for Melanie's team to go home, the real trouble is just starting. Powerful missiles pepper the city, striking closer than ever. With moments to spare, she and a buddy make a mad dash for safety. Dodging suicide bombers and IEDs, and armed with only a rifle and a handful of bullets, they take on enemies seen and unseen in this powerful story of personal resistance and human perseverance!
