Overview

In 1984 Africa, covert warfare and political tension erupt as Somali militants smuggle weapons from Ethiopia, unchecked. With rising concern over regional instability, U.S. President Ronald Reagan authorises a secret international military unit, code-named Delta One, to track arms and rebel movements into Mogadishu. Behind enemy lines, this elite team of soldiers, a CIA operative, and their female guide are ambushed in the remote town of Luuq in Central Somalia. The mission changes everything, especially for one Australian soldier. Haunted by the trauma of combat, he returns home to face a new battlefield: life after war. Struggling with PTSD, alcoholism, and the silence surrounding veterans' mental health, his fight for survival takes a dark turn. Tempted by mercenary work and the world of private military contracts, he is pulled back into the line of fire. This raw and unflinching fictionalised memoir blends fact with vivid storytelling to explore Cold War conflict, special operations, and the personal cost of war - from the deserts of East Africa to the streets of civilian life.
