Deployment

Sergeant Major Lucas Grant should have retired. Instead, he joined the National Guard. The Guard stands ready to provide humanitarian relief wherever they may be sent, but they never expected anything like Darfur. Grant finds himself in another shooting war, worse than anything he has known before. Islamic extremists want the country for Arab Muslims. The Sudanese Liberation Army wants it for African Muslims, and both sides want the Americans out.

Based on current events in Darfur, American soldiers face the perils of helping the people no one cares about, and keeping each other alive while they do it.
