Publisher's Synopsis
Brandon Stiles goes to war, is captured on the final day of conflict, and is believed to have died before the cease-fire. A late release of this soldier would raise questions. Who else has not been returned? Better to keep or kill him. A comrade in arms, badly injured and in coma, years later remembers. Like shards of glass, memory slowly rewinds and pieces come together. Brandon isn't dead. He's missing. A brother's love fuels relentless effort and warriors join to find and free him despite resistance at the highest levels of the Defense Department. A politician buries evidence thought harmful to his career and lied, forcing others to take unprecedented daring action. Their plan entangles with unrelated, violent crime that alters but cannot stop it. Even an emergency landing and wreckage of a commercial jet does not derail it. Daring innovation amid death and destruction keeps hope alive. The world is shocked when the soldier, dead and buried, contacts a U.S. Embassy and is free. The hidden truth threatens the personal ambition of a man without honor. The soldier is accused of desertion and treason. A race to alter records ensues. This is a story of devotion and determination amid violence, death and destruction. It is the story of an abandoned soldier whose fighting spirit burns intensely. It is the victory of the human spirit over opportunism and cynicism, and an American hero is finally welcomed back. This story is fictional, an action-adventure that centers on the First Gulf War and the period 1990 to 1994. The passage of time has added relevancy while personal experience gives it realism, authenticity and believability. Readers of action-adventure novels will find it hard to put down. Retribution, the sequel to Price For A Patriot will be released soon.
