Guns and White Faces

A gripping and haunting tale of survival, Guns and White Faces takes readers on a perilous trek into the most brutal reaches of man's physical and mental being.  A platoon of U.S. Army soldiers is given the mission of guiding a group of doctors deep into the jungle of western Africa in search of a mysterious disease. The officer in charge of the mission, Major Wesley Atwell, must overcome his dark, troubled past from the war in Afghanistan in order to lead the journey into the unknown.  Along the way, Atwell builds a trust with those around him and makes a promise he knows he should never have made. When the team arrives at the remote village of Budo, the soldiers and doctors discover a unimaginable nightmare that soon has them fighting for their own survival against the village, the disease, and each other.  As Atwell leads the desperate battle to keep his people alive, he discovers a shade of war far darker and more horrific than any he had previously known - one that will ruthlessly demonstrate the true strength, courage - and evil - that man is capable of.

Guns and White Faces provides a captivating glimpse of a nightmare - relentless, thought-provoking, and not too far removed from the realities of war today.
