Peter Baird has killed too many people. The veteran fighter stands exhausted in a country torn by its second civil war, desperate to abandon his weapons and return home. But the conflict pulls him back in. Military operations drag him from West Virginia into the Midwest, each mission taking him further from the peace he craves. This time Peter carries a different goal. He plans to stop the fighting entirely. His fellow soldiers may view any ceasefire as betrayal of their cause. Peter once assassinated the President, and now he seeks to become a peacemaker. The question remains whether his fractured mind can survive the attempt to end what he helped begin.
