First Winter Count

A career professional soldier, Boone Taggart, fought his country's wars and trained others for war. The end of his career and the memories of America's most recent war magnifies his struggle to make peace in the next phase of life. He shares a wilderness expedition with fellow warriors intended to heal, but it ends tragically, leaving Taggart stranded and injured in the Alaskan wilderness. He leverages decades of training and experience in the wilderness as he thinks through this latest challenge, but physical survival is not all he faces. His wilderness isolation becomes the crucible where he seeks reconciliation between the sacrifice of a nation's warriors juxtaposed with the failures, intrigues, and incompetence of politicians, careerist military officers, and bureaucrats. Taggart is not walking this epic path alone. His daughter, unwilling to accept his loss, is committed to his rescue and emerges a warrior in her own right.
