Product Description

Synopsis

In a style of Fight Club meets Three Kings, Howard's novel will cause controversy. He writes of American infantrymen disaffected by the country they are supposed to be championing, ready to do anything for a shot at the good life. US Army infantry team steals a bizarre Mohammedan artifact, provoking the wrath of a centuries-old Moslem brotherhood. Recovering from profound wounds and revealing a disturbing relationship with his ex-fiance, Spec-4 Maynard Byrne is pursued from Afghanistan across the US, to an apocalyptic resolution in British Columbia. Mentally unraveling, he obsesses over the 9/11 hijackers and laments the universality of war.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ominous Recollections of Afghanistan, 12 Nov 2005
By C. S. Maubach (Illinois) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Set against the contrasting backdrops of stark Afghanistan and the tranquil Seattle/Vancouver area, Howard provides vivid imagery from the liquid shadow of a Blackhawk helicopter morphing with the barren Afghani landscape, to the animal tracks surrounding the charred remains of an insurgent cooked by enemy fire. Maynard, the protagonist, in his angst over failure in relationships, career, etc., strikes back when confronted with an opportunity to enrich himself at the cost of the people he has been dispatched to liberate.
Christopher Howard establishes himself in his introductory novel as one who sees into the darkest parts of his character's soul and who lays those thoughts out in the open. Maynard's hatred extends even to the families of the 9-11 bombers, and to those who would brazenly profit from such tragedy. Such thoughts are not for the faint of heart or for those easily offended. Neither are his ominous recollections of an estranged girlfriend, or a combat patrol that goes very wrong.
A compelling read.
