CHAPTER ONE

Denver, Colorado

“MAKE YOUR CHOICE, SERGEANT LOGAN. YOU CAN RESIGN FROM the army with an honorable discharge, or you can face a court martial—where, no doubt, you’ll be sentenced to years in Leavenworth prison.”

Edge stood at attention in front of Colonel Raymond Miles, seated behind his desk at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The office, with only a few framed certificates on the walls, a handful of photos of the colonel with his men, and not a single picture of his family or friends, was as stark and unforgiving as the man behind the desk.

“What’ll it be, soldier? If it weren’t for your outstanding record and the silver star you earned, you’d already be under arrest.” Miles shoved the papers across the desk and set a ballpoint pen on top of them.

Edge looked down at the papers, his jaw clenched so hard it hurt. Given the circumstances—and not a shred of proof that his allegations against a highly respected army major were true—he had no choice.
