Fang and fury penetrate the night, searching for those who will carry the light, in an elemental battle as old as time. And reckoning arrives on silent feet when modern research crosses ancient ground.

This was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. And if democracy was made safe, then nothing else mattered - not the millions of dead bodies, nor the thousands of ruined lives. This is no ordinary novel. This is the story of a young American soldier terribly maimed in World War I - he "survives" armless, legless, and faceless, but with his mind intact.
