A special operations helicopter pilot launches an illegal mission into ISIS territory to rescue the man who taught him when to break the rules.
...a wonderful book on West Point... a story of war and character, duty and honor, and stealing the Navy goat.
- General (Ret.) Wesley K. Clark
One of Military Times' Best Books of 2016 - now in a revised second edition.
Twenty-five years after graduating from West Point, Lieutenant Colonel Sam Avery leads an illegal mission deep into ISIS-held territory.
An MH-47G Chinook helicopter departs formation in the Iraqi night. The mission is unauthorized. Success is unlikely. But to save a friend, Sam Avery and his crew of Night Stalkers have prepared for one last flight.
ISIS operatives in Tal Afar, Iraq, have captured American aid worker Henry Stillmont. Avery knows Stillmont as the Guru, the West Point squad leader who taught him about brotherhood, loyalty, and when to break the rules as a young cadet twenty-five years ago. Sam will risk his career and his life to save him.
As they near their target, Sam reflects on his time in the crucible of the United States Military Academy. West Point made Sam the leader he is. His fellow cadets made him the man he is. The ideals of duty, honor, and country have echoed throughout his life and drive him and his comrades as they undertake their final and most audacious spirit mission.
SPIRIT MISSION is a gripping, deeply authentic military thriller that moves between the chaos of modern war and the dark humor and pressure of cadet life at West Point-perfect for readers of Mark Greaney, Elliot Ackerman, and other character-driven military and espionage fiction.
