"The Mullah's Storm is the most realistic and compelling novel that I have ever read. Suspenseful and electrifying from beginning to end, and as close to reality as it could possibly be." --General Carl Stiner, U.S. Army Former Commander in Chief, U.S. Special Operations Command
An extraordinary debut novel about courage and survival in Afghanistan, written as only a man who has "been there and done that" could tell it.
A transport plane carrying an important Taliban detainee for interrogation is shot down in a blizzard over the Hindu Kush. The storm makes rescue impossible, and for two people--navigator Michael Parson and a woman Army interpreter, Sergeant Gold--a battle for survival begins across some of the most forbidding terrain on earth, against not only the hazards of nature, but the treacheries of man: the Taliban stalking them; the villagers, whose loyalty is unknown; and a prisoner who would very much like the three of them to be caught. All Parson and Gold have is each other, to stay alive.
