About this Book
A fictional answer to Black Hawk Down, The Warlord is a pulsating
military thriller set against today’s special ops war in Afghanistan.
---------------
Meet three-star general, Jackson Monroe, a character very much based
on four-star general, Colin Powell.
What would happen if a polished middle-aged man like Powell found
himself shot down in the mountains of Afghanistan and surrounded by
the enemy?
Can a “soft” political general who has spent decades inside the corridors
of Washington now become a hardened survivor, killer, and commander
inside a war zone?
Loosely based on Xenophon’s The Persian Expedition, The Warlord tells
the story of former sniper Jackson Monroe (The Silent Men) a man who
must follow and then lead a ragtag unit against adversary after adversary
as they try to make their way across hundreds of miles of hostile
territory.
Evading, feinting, fighting, and then avenging, Monroe finally finds
the commando he once was and the commander he always wanted to be.
