Former Navy Seal Rafe Stoner is about to hit rock bottom as he mourns the death of his fiancée to a roadside bomb. Descending into a gambling and alcohol fueled oblivion, he is about to lose it all. When a woman arrives seeking her husband, a doctor kidnapped by insurgents, she calls on him to use his unique skills to rescue him from a Taliban stronghold. He refuses to take it on, until he learns of a rumor that his former fiancée, Madeleine Charpentier, may still be alive. A prisoner with that name lives in the same insurgent hellhole where they are holding the doctor. It could be her, and now things have changed. Once again he picks up his guns to venture into bandit country.
Ranged against him is the might of the Taliban, allied to a corrupt and vicious senior Afghan cop. But Stoner is not a man to duck a challenge, and besides, he must find Madeleine. From the start he becomes embroiled in a maelstrom of vicious, brutal battles. Outnumbered, outgunned, wounded and badly beaten, life or death ceases to have any meaning. His sole objective is to find out the truth about his former fiancée. A truth that is more than worth dying for.
Heroes of Afghanistan: Onslaught is an incredible story of tough, violent men in a tough, violent land. This is the latest title by the bestselling author of many SpecOps series. These include the popular SEAL Team Bravo stories, Heroes of Afghanistan, Raider, Echo Six, and Devil's Guard titles.
Another fine read with Stoner, Greg and Ivan shooting it up in Afghanistan. This time to save a woman thought to be Madeline Carpenter, Stoner's long thought killed girlfriend. Also we are introduced to Grace suspicious nurse who really knows how to use an Uzi.
There is plenty of action as Taliban warlord and his men attempts to bring and attack to Kabul with his martyrs and Pakistan Taliban from across the border. Stoner and Greg have other ideas of course.
Oh and our old friend Archer makes a brief appearance.
