Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Cambodia, 1968. Officially, American soldiers are not there. Sergeant Cal Briggs is about to cross the border anyway.After nearly two decades in uniform, Briggs volunteers for one of the most secret assignments of the Vietnam War: MACV-SOG, the covert command sending small reconnaissance teams across the fence into enemy territory.As One-Zero of RT Kentucky, Briggs leads a team of American Special Forces soldiers and indigenous Bru fighters deep into northeast Cambodia. Their mission sounds simple: observe a vital section of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, count what moves through it, report by radio, and disappear.Then one man makes the wrong move.The team is compromised.Now Briggs and his men are trapped eighteen kilometers inside hostile country, pursued by a disciplined North Vietnamese force that knows the jungle, knows the trails, and knows Americans are out there. The only way home is south, toward an extraction zone that may already be waiting for them.And even if the helicopters come, not everyone will be on them.PRAIRIE FIRE is a tense, historically grounded Vietnam War novel about MACV-SOG, the secret war in Cambodia, and the soldiers and indigenous fighters who carried its cost long after the shooting stopped.The Boys Who Didn't Come Home, Book Six
