Honor & Dishonor
Eric Meyer - 2020
His brother Daniel is a scholar and an academic, and to the horror and dismay of his family, he converts to Islam. To make things worse, he travels to Afghanistan to teach in a madrassah, the religious schools that are a production line for Taliban terrorists.
The new mission handed to Rod Cooper’s Team is tough. A better word to describe it would be ‘suicide.’ Their brief, to go behind enemy lines and locate and pinpoint a new and powerful Taliban combined arms warband. A threatened escalation to the brutal war waged by the Islamic insurgents. Outnumbered, outgunned and faced by an enemy intent on their slaughter, they battle against an enemy determined to spill their blood on the soil of Afghanistan. Yet they are determined to acquit themselves with honor, no matter what the cost. When everything seems lost, Rod is faced with simple questions. Honor. Or dishonor. Decisions of life or death. And how to handle a brother who is a traitor.
