A gripping story of loss, manipulation and the fight to survive.

"Steve Physioc is a great storyteller who writes believable characters, with a conflict against a historical backdrop that has been widely written about, yet he creates unique scenes and a plot that is original." — Readers' Favorite

Sam Cloud-Carson has a good life. He's a budding baseball phenom who can pack the stands with scouts. He's surrounded by a loving family. And he's well known in his Southern Ute tribe and beyond as the best wildlife tracker anyone has ever seen – anyone, including Drake Dixon.

Drake doesn't concern himself with anything or anyone that can't give him what he craves: money and power. His position and prestige as owner of Diamond Bar Security bring him both, but he knows young Sam can bring him even more. If he can convince him to come on board and track for Diamond Bar in the wealth-laden mountains of Afghanistan, that is.

When the worst day of Sam's life becomes the best day of Drake's, their paths become impossibly intertwined in a journey across the globe – a journey with life-altering implications for them both.
