Mark Powell

Luther Redding lost his job, and almost lost his wife, Pamela, and teenaged daughters Katie and Lucy, when the real estate bubble burst in Florida. Now he pilots a Reaper drone over the mountains of Afghanistan from a command center in the bowels of Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base, studying a target's pattern of life and awaiting the command to end that life. Meanwhile Bobby Rosen has returned home from his tours in Iraq to a broken marriage and an estranged son, his promising military career cut short in a moment of terrible violence in a Sadr City marketplace. As the tales of Luther and Bobby unfold, Mark Powell masterfully engages with the vexing, bifurcated lives of combatants in the global war on terror, those who are simultaneously here and there and thus never fully freed from the life-and-death chaos of the battlefield.

"Jasmine tiene veintitrés años. Va a la universidad, sale con sus amigas, liga, se pelea con sus padres. Todo normal. Bueno, no exactamente, porque es musulmana y vive en Milán. Jasmine a menudo está enfadada porque nadie la comprende. Ni su mejor amiga Amira, que cede a una boda acordada. Ni sus padres, perplejos ante sus arrebatos rebeldes. Ni los chicos musulmanes, a los que les gustaría que fuera más tranquila. Ni los muchachos occidentales, dispuestos a atribuirle insoportables tópicos sobre los árabes. Sola, perdida en una maraña de contradicciones, Jasmine, sin embargo, posee un arma poderosa: la ironía."--Publisher's description.
