Six men have gone quiet in country nobody is supposed to be using. Nolan Brice takes five men in to find out what happened to them.
The operation begins badly. The planned descent from the insertion ridge crosses a heavily used enemy route that does not appear on the briefing map. Loaded porters move through the area without caution, and a second group appears on a different line before Brice's team has even reached the valley floor.
This is not empty country where something happened once. It is active ground being worked every day.
Brice gives up the fast route and pays for the safer one in hours the missing men may not have. As the team pushes deeper, every print, load mark, track, and piece of disturbed ground becomes evidence—not only of where the missing patrol may have gone, but of how thoroughly the enemy controls the valley around them.
Prairie Fire is Book 3 of the MACV-SOG series, a Vietnam War novel of search, reconnaissance, hidden routes, and the cost of entering enemy country after another team has already disappeared.
Genre: Thriller
