Summary:
"Jonah is a child soldier, born amidst the chaotic conflicts that rage across West Asia, his family lost to a war fueled by weapons supplied by the so-called Merchants of Death -- international arms dealers. Despite Jonah's hatred of weapons and violence, he employs both extremely well in the service of high-flying arms dealer Koko Hekmatyar and her band of mercenaries. Their journey through the dark underbelly of the world's arms markets may lead only to damnation, but will Jonah one day make his way back to the light? Only one thing is certain: it's going to be a long, hard road out of hell... In the business of arms dealing, your list of enemies is as long as your list of clients. And if that isn't enough to make you sleep with a gun under your pillow, the thought of being under government surveillance might! Someone has put a hit on Koko, and a pair of ruthless assassins makes its move. But Koko Hekmatyar and her squad are a very hard target--trained pros know, when you get ambushed, the best way out of the kill zone is to attack!"--P. [4] of cover.
