The mullah's storm  Cover Image Book Book

The mullah's storm / Thomas W. Young.

Summary:

A transport plane carrying an important Taliban detainee for interrogation is shot down in a blizzard over Afghanistan. For two people - navigator Michael Parson and a woman Army interpreter, Sergeant Gold - a battle for survival begins across some of the most forbidding terrain on earth against not only the hazards of nature but the treacheries of man: the Taliban stalking them; the villagers, whose loyalty is unknown; and a prisoner who would very much like the three of them to be caught. An extraordinary debut novel. Thomas W. Young has logged nearly 4,000 hours for the Air National Guard in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, and elsewhere.
