The Convoy

War does not always end when the shooting stops. Sometimes it follows you home and waits for the lights to go out.

The Convoy is a raw story told through the eyes of a Marine leader who walks his men through a valley in Afghanistan and watches it change their lives forever. It is a story of pressure, responsibility, guilt, endurance, and the quiet battles fought long after the ambush ends.

A routine supply run becomes a nightmare. A roadside threat becomes a choice. A single shift in the dirt becomes a moment that lives inside a man for years. When the tow truck hits the hidden device, the blast takes more than steel and bodies. It takes peace. It takes sleep. It takes the sense that time can move forward without looping back.

This story carries the full weight of experience. Clean writing. No fluff. Grit earned the hard way. A look at combat through the eyes of someone who had to keep others alive and now carries the memory of those he could not.

If you want a story that speaks honestly about war, leadership, and the quiet havoc of memory, this belongs in your library.

The Convoy is part of the Tempered by Chaos collection, written in the unmistakable voice of Jeffrey Sabins.
