The Spirit Horses

About the Book

During Desert Storm, small teams of highly-trained reconnaissance men were sent deep into Iraq on extremely dangerous missions. One such man, Pettis Dentel, came back from the Gulf War only to find that he had brought the desert, with all its horror and bloodshed, home with him. Ravaged by the effects of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Dentel's life and sanity spiral out of control, until his unexpected reunion with the survivors of a terrible battle on the plains of Iraq brings him to the point of destruction—or redemption.

Written in a fast-paced, syncopated narrative, The Spirit Horses evokes the madness of war, the hellishly intense lifestyle of the modern day warrior, the hopelessness of failing to reintegrate into society, and the despair and mind-killing anguish of PTSD.
