Description
Paul Foster is a 17 year old boy, a white trash high school dropout without even a GED to his name, an adulteress ex-wife he married at 16, uncaring (at best) parents, who's left behind his hometown for what he felt would be an uncaring world. Once finished with Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training, he finds himself assigned to 2/19th Special Weapons Group and figures that nothing in an uncaring world matters. Exposed to nerve agent. Fighting Soviet soldiers over control of a 15 square mile section of Western Germany. Seeing friends die. The crushing weight of his duties in an uncaring military steadily grinds away at him. However, in the fire and blood of the hell of 2/19th he finds a small spark. A dancing firefly in the middle of misery and terror that has wound around him and held his heart in her tiny hands. Amid the blood and gunfire of a war that nobody knows or cares about, he's found friends and his place in the world. But now he has to return home. To a past he tried to leave behind. When everything goes bad, the tormentors of his past quickly discover the simple fact of 2/19th. Like his fellow soldiers, Paul Foster may look like a man, but he isn't. He's a weapon.
