It is absolutely riveting despite the length. I knew it would be amazing and I knew it would destroy me utterly. So when I saw this book was released and I saw the description…I knew. It is one of the very few that I listen to repeatedly. The previous book in this storyline (not exactly a series), Hush, is one of my favorite audiobooks. And, at the head of this army, a shadowy figure the US hasn't seen before: Al Dakhil Al-Khorasani.

Intercepts say an army from Khorasan, the land of the dead where the Apocalypse of Islam will rise, is coming. Something deadly, and moving to strike the United States.

Intelligence from multiple sources overseas points to something new. He vanished in the tribal belt of Pakistan, and the man who walks out almost a decade later is someone new: Al Dakhil Al-Khorasani. When a botched mission rips David from Kris' life, Kris' world falls into ruin and ash.Īfter being captured, tortured to the edge of his life, and left for dead by his comrades, David doesn't know how much of himself is left. David - Arab American, Muslim, and gay - becomes the man Kris loves, the man he lives for, and the man he kills for, through the long years of the raging wars. On the battlefield, he meets Special Forces Sergeant David Haddad. Ten days later, he was on the ground in Afghanistan with a Special Forces team. On September 11th, 2001, Kris Caldera was a junior member of the CIA's Alec Station, the unit dedicated to finding and stopping Osama Bin Laden.
