Why This Must Be Read: This is a sometimes lyrical action/adventure story, in which John is post-Afghanistan and has accidentally acquired an ancient device, with no idea what it is. Rodney and Lorne are tracking the signal he sends out when using it, wandering across the hinterlands of the US. And then, in the more action/adventure part of the story, here come the Trust with their usual evil plans, and John and Rodney have to save each other. By turns evocative and exciting, and an excellent read.
The day before his discharge back to the States, he goes to the field hospital near Kandahar. The doctors and staff ignore him, too busy to bother, and the guys not drugged out of their minds stare at him, and then at Mitch, who is mostly plaster and bandages where he isn't burned beyond recognition.
"Don't tire him out," the duty nurse says with a glower, and leaves in a cloud of disapproval and disinfectant. He makes a noise of agreement she doesn't hear and makes himself look at Mitch, and the obscenely bright, painkiller-hazy eye gazing back at him.
"Got married again?" Mitch asks. The words, like most of the rest of him, are cracked and broken, and the laugh he tried out sounded like it hurt.
"Not exactly," he said, and reached for Mitch's hand.
