Craig DiLouie’s QRF Releases November 17, 2023

 


Craig DiLouie’s QRF Releases November 17, 2023


 

October 25, 2023 … Coming soon from bestselling military thriller author Craig DiLouie, QRF is a thriller about the Iraq War and obligations it created among the people who fought there. When an old comrade doing humanitarian work is captured by the Islamic State during the Iraqi civil war in 2016, four war veterans leave their civilian lives to attempt a daring rescue in the most dangerous place on Earth.

QRF: military term meaning quick reaction force. When a unit in trouble hears, The cavalry is coming, they’re talking about these guys.

Eleven years after coming home from Iraq, Jim Cooper lives a quiet civilian life of wandering. When he hears his old squad leader has been captured by ISIS while doing humanitarian work in an embattled Mosul, he reconnects with comrades from his old unit to reflect and mourn the execution they know is coming.

Reminiscing deep into the night, an unlikely, wild plan to rescue Sergeant Ramos takes shape. The war-torn Iraq to which Coop and his comrades plan to return, however, is a very different place than where they’d fought back in ’04. In 2016, Mosul is now controlled by the ruthless Islamic State and under attack by the Iraqi Army in the largest and bloodiest urban battle since World War Two.

Rescuing Ramos appears impossible. Coop’s comrades have gone soft in the years since they left the service. They’re not the same men they were when they wore the uniform. But they swore an oath to each other as sacred as the one they gave their country, and it is never ending.

Published by ZING Communications, Inc., QRF releases November 17 in eBook and trade paperback exclusively through Amazon. Read by Garrett Michael Brown, the audiobook releases the same date.
