From Bing West, author of the acclaimed war chronicle
The Village, comes an explosive novel of high-tech warfare, international politics, and the unbreakable bonds of loyalty under fire.
At the end of a three-month tour in Kosovo, five American Marine reservists are looking forward to going home -- until one of the men runs into a pack of bloodthirsty Serbian soldiers, and disappears. After patrols fail to find him, Captain Mark Lang breaks ranks and moves the rest of his recon team -- dubbed "the Pepperdogs" -- deep into forbidden Serbian territory to rescue their friend.
What begins as a rogue mission soon takes on global implications when one of the team members begins posting their actions on the Web, drawing worldwide attention and further igniting an already volatile situation. With the eyes of the world upon them, and the life of their friend at stake, the only things the Pepperdogs have left to depend on is their weapons, their instincts, and each other.
