Burning Sky, by Weston Ochse

The wars of Afghanistan continue to rage on. For one group of soldiers that are a Tactical Support Team (or T.S.T. for short), are brave men and women who have seen the throes of battle time and time again. Finally home from their missions, they each begin to have a vivid dream. A dream that brings them back to their times of war, and a dream that as they find out, they all share together. What this dream truly means, none of them know, they can only speculate. What they know for sure though, is that to find out what it could be, and how it impacts not only their lives but the lives of others, is they must make the harrowing journey back to Afghanistan, amidst the bullets and IED's, to know the truth, no matter the cost.

In his latest military thriller, Weston Ochse takes us on a tour of Afghanistan, its soldiers, and its unrelenting landscape that brings so much heartache. His telling of these soldiers, what they have endured and what could possibly bring them back, is a wonderful change of pace from your typical thriller or horror style military excursion. At times the tale becomes a little overwhelming in description of the intricacies of what brings the group back (I can't go into detail here as it would spoil the story!), but aside from that is was a very good read. Overall I'd give this a solid B, and thank Weston for the opportunity to check out his latest writing adventure early via an Advanced Ready Copy for a fair and honest review.
