      Delightful.
    • 4/5
      This didn't really feel like a Josh book, something was different but I can't place it. This was both sad and hopeful. They lost 12 yrs and almost never got another meeting to begin with. Although the writing was concise and tight, I do wish it had been longer. The reader doesn't get much into the men themselves which hindered my ability to get truly attached. The equipment and scenery was as usual with this author very descriptive, yet; I don't really know much of anything of the MC's. I know one's Nickname is Stoney and he's darker and I know the other used to be brighter, youthful, idealistic. But, as far as their relationship I don't really get much. It would have pushed my rating up. Still I recommend.

      A short story about two military men who were lovers while in training but broke up right before graduation. They meet again after 12 years of not communicating - and of course profess their undying love and propose in the hospital.

    UNTIL WE MEET ONCE MORE

    Until We Meet Once More

    Anchors Aweigh, my boys,

    Anchors Aweigh.

    Farwell to foreign shores,

    We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.

    Through our last night ashore,

    Drink to the foam,

    Until we meet once more.

    Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home

    Anchors Aweigh - Lt. Charles A. Zimmerman

    Present day, 0001, Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan

    What we don’t want, Lt. Colonel Marsden said, is another Roberts’ Ridge.

    Understood, sir.

    Army Ranger Captain Vic Black was thirty-two, a tall, broad-shouldered man with dark hair prematurely silver at the temples, and eyes a color a former lover had once referred to as jungle green. Those light green eyes studied his commanding officer as Marsden, his face lined with weariness, looked instinctively at the silent phone on his desk.

    Vic understood only too well what Marsden was thinking. The parallels between this rescue operation and the disastrous Battle of Takur Gar — commonly known as Roberts’ Ridge — were painfully clear. In the Battle of Takur Gar the rescue of a Navy SEAL had resulted in two helicopters getting shot down and the deaths of seven U.S. soldiers — including the Navy SEAL, Petty Officer First Class Neil C. Roberts. Yeah, the last thing anyone wanted was another Roberts’ Ridge.

    Marsden admitted, I know what you’re thinking, but we’re in better position to get their man out even if they didn’t have their hands full with Akhtar Shah Omar on the other side of the valley.

    That’s what we’re here for, Vic said woodenly. Well, it was one of the things the rangers were there for. Rapid response. Rescue. Whatever was needed. Like the SEALs, the Rangers were an elite special operations force, highly trained and able to handle a variety of conventional and special op missions — everything from air assault to recovery of personnel or special equipment. This missing Navy SEAL seemed to qualify as both of the latter.

    No QRF. No TACP. No USAF. Just a three-man rescue team carried in by a MH-47 Chinook and inserted at 0200 hours 1000 meters on the Arma mountain range. Marsden pointed to a place on the map.

    Has there been any further communication from the surviving SEAL? Vic asked, scrutinizing the map. Those impenetrable mountains were riddled with Taliban and al Qaeda fighters. Another enemy was the weather — it was winter now — and the brutal terrain. The Shah-i-Kot valley and surrounding mountains provided natural protection. For the last 2,000 years Afghan fighters had successfully resisted everyone from Alexander the Great in 330 B.C.,
