Valley of Stars
US Intelligence uncovers a new terrorist communication network as the Islamic Caliphate takes advantage of America’s eroding global influence. But the discovery of a valley in the Afghan mountains, with a treasure trove of precious metals and gemstones that could fund terrorism for generations, ignites a desperate race to secure it. As regional tensions grow, a political war rages at the highest levels of the American administration. It forces some to walk a fine line
between what’s needed and what’s constitutional, stretching presidential directives to the breaking point. Decisions that may have
very deadly consequences.
But when the race for the Valley of Stars finally explodes, a unique set of leaders emerges from unlikely places. A Shia Afghan commander with unwavering loyalty from his mostly Sunni troops, a highly decorated American commander with a reputation for building relations with locals, and the first female Ranger who balances deference to culture with deadly efficient combat skills. They form a lethal triad to counter the savagery of the Islamist forces aligned against them. As the scope and ferocity of the fighting expand across Afghanistan, it threatens to engulf the world. As friends become allies, and allies become enemies.
