Ghost Platoon

eBook
Marines Robert Flynn and Izzy Khan are fed up with being pinned down by machine guns with no air support. Now back in the U.S., they create "ORION" a platoon based weapon system utilizing quadrocopters and precision-guided mortars. They soon discover the problem with ORION- It's too cheap and too effective. Undeterred by the powers that be, they embark upon a mission to prove ORION, a misguided quest so dangerous it will take more than ORION to save them. Ride with them as they fight their way into the badlands of Southwest Afghanistan. Soon the Platoon, an adopted "Tiger Dog" and a band of ragtag Pashtun guides will depend on each other against powerful hidden foes both in Afghanistan and within their own government. A story of love, loyalty, betrayal and sacrifice, Ghost Platoon explores the complex issues facing the overexposed modern-day "Grunt."
