Hell's Highway

Eddie Hawkins is the cupola gunner on a Humvee based in Afghanistan. He has a reputation as a man who shoots first and shoots straight, until things start to unravel. Ordered to accompany a combat engineer to give covering fire while he clears a dangerous highway of IEDs, a brutal, bullying Master Sergeant gives him the wrong route. The result is a debacle, American lives are lost, and they blame Hawkins. Held in contempt by his crew, the next operation offers him a chance to put things right. Except the same Master Sergeant has command of his platoon. It is make or break time. Time for him to put the record straight. Or die in the attempt.Hawkins' Heroes: Hell's Highway is the second short novel in the Hawkins' Heroes series. A collaboration between Todd McCleod and Eric Meyer, the bestselling author of more than fifty war novels.
