A journey into the hell that is the War on Terror—a Heart of Darkness for the new century.
 
Former Army Special Forces soldier Jack Pilgrim has it all – big bucks, a successful security business with plush government contracts, a beautiful wife. Then Pilgrim’s partner, Merc Conrad, goes missing in Afghanistan with a chunk of government cash and most of the company’s assets.  The CIA threatens to throw Pilgrim in jail if he doesn’t find Merc and return the money. Pilgrim knows his business--and his extravagant lifestyle--are on the line, but Merc saved Jack's life three times while they served together in the Army in Afghanistan. So Jack owes him. Big.
 
Determined to find Conrad, Pilgrim returns to Afghanistan.  The country in chaos as the US prepares to pull out. Pilgrim follows Merc’s trail to the border area of Pakistan; with every step he seems to descend deeper into a Dantesque hell. Rumor has it that Conrad has fielded a guerilla army and is hot on the trail of Osama bin Laden. The further into the uncharted border zone Jack Pilgrim goes, the larger the legend of Merc Conrad becomes.  Warding off insurgent attacks and pockets of terror cells, Pilgrim's odyssey into the Afghan badlands has him questioning his own reality, and the closer he seems to get to Conrad, the more peril he faces. If Jack Pilgrim wants to get out of Afghanistan alive, he may need Merc Conrad now more than ever.

Book Excerpts

Read an Excerpt

1  VEGAS You expect more things out of life as you get older, and you come to think of your expectations as natu­ral. You start to think that the things you get are things that you’re entitled to. You forget about the way luck plays its hand, about the little tricks of fate that take you to a certain place and time. You have what you deserve, then you are what you deserve, then the things that sur­round you become your identity. You start thinking of yourself as the man with the big  house overlooking the hills, the guy with the well-kept lawn and the gunite swimming pool.
