Palmer's in your face demanding attitude was hard to ignore.  When Chad learns that John is roommates with his former Sergeant, the three develop a bond of friendship and acceptance.The day comes when John learns that he is the first of his friends to be discharged.  Chad fears that his friend will succumb to the darkness that threatens to consume him and put an end to his life.  Duncan promises that the three of them will reunite one day soon.  Will Duncan make good on his promise?THE EMBATTLED ROAD - LOST AND FOUND SERIES is the prequel to the LOST AND FOUND series.  With three such strong characters as Duncan, John, and Chad there is no way their stories can be anything but magnificent!  The whole concept of strong military heroes being struck down by the devastation of war makes for an irresistible reading experience.  Mere words can't describe the satisfying emotional impact I experienced after I finished THE EMBATTLED ROAD.  I predict this series will be one of the all-time best published in 2013.
