The Last Letter

Former Marines Doherty, James and Parks nestle soundly around a campfire deep in the wilds of Northern Idaho; set to reminisce on long forgotten memories spent together with their fellow Grunts, their brothers of 1st Squad, 2nd platoon. Brothers too busy or haunted to join the three for this secluded reunion. Each infantry Marine struggles with his own harassing demons, one more than the other two but when the three former infantrymen are thrown into chaos, their reunion becomes a battle for their lives. The outcome will test the very limits of 1st Squad’s brotherhood, loyalty, and an undeniable bond formed on the battlefields over twenty years earlier. While not shying away from the complexities of combat and the scars it can leave behind, The Last Letter provides vivid insight into the bond shared by combat Marines, a bond that says they’ll fight for each other, they’ll die for each other, a bond that may very well last beyond death. Although this book is a fictional narrative, the experiences, guilt and emotions shared by the characters throughout the novel are based on real world applications from the author’s turbulent past.
