And deep in the high peaks of north Afghanistan, Lt. Col. Jack Wallace and Major Doug Stewart make contact with the failing resistance forces battling the Taliban and Al Qaeda. But Jack's got a gut feeling that something is about to go very, very wrong.
A Taliban commander who is not everything he appears to be, an orphan street girl who has stolen a priceless artifact, and an American aid worker just trying to feed the people of Kabul...
