Sandbox Wars

Set in Afghanistan in 2014, American Soldiers are faced with a myriad of challenges, with many of the first-timers facing conditions they couldn't imagine back home in America.

Capt. Bill Warrens Jr., on his 3rd tour in the sandbox, leads under-manned B Company with duties ranging from clearing roads of IEDs to searching remote villages occupied by locals who may or may not be Taliban, all while trying to maintain troop morale in blistering heat in a land where he's not wanted.

Initial battles lead to higher-than-normal casualties and bureaucratic foul-ups that make Bill wonder if this war is leading to another Vietnam. Worse, they are given an assignment that could jeopardize relations with a neighboring country with nuclear capability.

Sandbox Wars, book 3 of the Apache Snow series, is a fictional account of a year tour in a brutal land that has known war for much of its existence. Will America's best stand up to the challenge?
