The lieutenant is dead. He kept putting off telling the rest of the patrol know where they were going and what they were supposed to be doing, and now they're adrift in an ocean of sand. The sergeant has to get them to safety and come up with a plan to regroup with friendlies. The problem is, there are Arabs out there, and they're picking off the soldiers one by one.
This book was intense. You can't help but get wrapped up in the hopelessness of the situation. At first, you're wondering how they can get out of the situation. As the book goes on, you start to wonder if anyone will make it away from there alive.
I don't recommend this book if you need something uplifting to read. This isn't one of those inspirational books with a happy ending. It has the kind of ending that I expected, and I appreciated the reality it presented. I think if you're ready to be faced with this kind of book, I highly recommend it. Good Book!
(And the movie barely took any inspiration from this book.)
