Read More than courage Storyline:

SUMMARY:Courage is often enough to drive a soldier forward, to cause him to climb out of his foxhole and face enemy fire. But it takes a little more than courage to keep him going when every instinct dictates that he should do otherwise.This truth becomes self-evident when the men belonging to Recon Team Kilo, a Special Forces A-Team operating deep in hostile territory, are overwhelmed by indigenous forces. Without leadership and unit cohesion, the survivors struggle to stay faithful to their code of conduct in the face of brutal imprisonment and an uncertain future.An elite force, ready to place themselves in harm's way to save their own, is sent on a dangerous mission to rescue the POWs. They're lead by Lieutenant Colonel Harry Shaddock, whose men would follow him anywhere. His mission is to save fellow soldiers while putting his own in harm's way. As the families of the imprisoned soldiers learn that their loved ones are being killed off one by one, the operation becomes more dangerous than anyone had imagined. In order to triumph all must draw upon something from within. SOMETHING MORE THAN COURAGE.

Review"Harold Coyle is the best natural storyteller I know."-Tom Clancy-- ReviewProduct DescriptionCourage is often enough to drive a soldier forward, to make him climb out of his foxhole and face enemy fire. But it takes something else, something more than courage to keep going when every instinct and every shred of reason tells him to stop. The men of Recon Team Kilo, a Special Forces unit operating deep in hostile territory, are overwhelmed by indigenous forces, stripped of their leadership, and hopelessly separated. Isolated from their brethren, each man is thrown back on his own strength and instinct to survive. Will they stay faithful to their code of conduct and their country-even in the face of brutal imprisonment and an uncertain future? Courage is not a factor for Lieutenant Colonel Harry Shaddock, the commander of the unit selected to execute the rescue. But in order to accomplish the mission and save the imprisoned soldiers he will have to make some very hard decisions-decisions that will risk the lives of the men under his command, men who would follow him anywhere. Meanwhile, the families of the hostages must endure a trial no less daunting. They must stand by and watch their loved ones executed one by one, by a ruthless foe thousands of miles away. In a contest that demands more than anyone had imagined, victory will require everyone to draw upon something within, something more than courage
