Story
Old Silk Road is a prescient, powerful novel of the Afghan war by someone who's been there. Norman "Doc" Rodgers suspects he won't make it out of this one alive. He's a young combat medic in Afghanistan, eager to avenge his father's death in the World Trade Center and make sense of a new world that feels like it's fallen to pieces. Haunted by hallucinatory encounters, his only solace is a barely concealed addiction to the precious opiates he's supposed to dole out sparingly to those beyond aid.

I heard of Brandon Carol through the Free Press, for which I believe he writes and is employed as a journalist. The book was mentioned in an article where I believe may be in his bio, and I decided to check it out. I am really impressed with the depth of this novel. I did not expect it to go in this brilliant circular way and reveal That the beginning is really the ending and vice versa. This is a great story. Would be a super interesting film.

Greg, I think you’re an amazing writer. You write fantastic, fantastic fantastic. However, it looks like they got to you as well. So much talk about race. You created these tech geniuses who are “megalomaniac men boys“? This silliness is beneath you. I was quite surprised. Really truly unnecessary. Keep writing amazing stories. You are all right.

At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery - and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth - and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery...and the tools for fighting back.

This book is incredibly inspiring, as well as packed with action and great tidbits of information. He will learn nowhere but from a tier one operator. Most importantly, Howard has a huge heart and he’s a great inspiration.

Very interesting story. Definitely no specific that would make a story really stand out. But I understand because this is a redacted situation. Nonetheless, an entertaining read.
