Apocalypse Now meets The Lord of the Rings in a bold new fantasy
from the acclaimed author of the Iron Elves trilogy, filled with "heroic
action that keeps fans coming back" (Publishers Weekly).
Channeling the turbulent period of the Vietnam War and its ruthless
pitting of ideologies, cultures, generations, and races against each
other, military historian and acclaimed fantasy writer Chris Evans takes
a daring new approach to the traditional world of sword and sorcery by
thrusting it into a maelstrom of racial animus, drug use, rebellion, and
a growing war that seems at once unwinnable and with no end in sight. In
this thrilling epic, right and wrong, country and honor, freedom and
sacrifice are all put to the ultimate test in the heart of a dark,
bloody, otherworldly jungle.
In this strange, new world deep among the shadows under a triple-canopy
jungle and plagued by dangers real and imagined, soldiers strive to
fulfill a mission they don't understand and are ill-equipped to carry
out. And high above them, the heavy rush of wings slashing through the
humid air herald a coming wave of death and destruction, and just
possibly, salvation.
