Tiboli Taboo

In a style of Fight Club meets Three Kings, Howard's novel will cause controversy. He writes of American infantrymen disaffected by the country they are supposed to be championing, ready to do anything for a shot at the good life. US Army infantry team steals a bizarre Mohammedan artifact, provoking the wrath of a centuries-old Moslem brotherhood. Recovering from profound wounds and revealing a disturbing relationship with his ex-fiance, Spec-4 Maynard Byrne is pursued from Afghanistan across the US, to an apocalyptic resolution in British Columbia. Mentally unraveling, he obsesses over the 9/11 hijackers and laments the universality of war.
