After returning home from the Gulf War, Eiric Lesson struggles to adjust to civilian life. His battles with flashbacks, Gulf War Syndrome, and suicidal actions are compounded by daily onslaughts of subtle and extreme racism. It is based on real events in the life of the author, an 18 year veteran of the US Army and Army Reserves. Though set in the early 90’s, its depiction of untreated PTSD and unbridled prejudice is as timely as current headlines.
