Description
Predators, Reapers, and Deadlier Creatures tracks Jones, a drone operator stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, 2010. As he monitors Sahar, a teenager and suspected terrorist, Jones commits the ultimate crime: he cares.
Jones's supervisor is similarly stained, a fierce soldier who champions Afghan women. By day, Jones and the Major track Taliban down the cratered highways. By night, they wish their love had never hurt so many.
Beneath the base, Jones befriends Noah who, despite his cruel fangs and horrifying strength, is the only gentle creature in the entire desert. As Jones contends with a brutal predator stalking soldiers, Noah's bids for freedom grow desperate, and the fighting season renews with a fresh crop of Taliban.
In Kandahar, there's a monster in every window. And there's also one in every mirror. As the war grinds him to ever-finer particles, Jones grapples with the toll-madness, craters, grief.
