Unscheduled Valor - Paperback

When Defense Logistics Agency inspector James Martinez is sent to Iraq to investigate inventory discrepancies, he expects nothing more than spreadsheets and inventory counts. Unknown to him, his routine inspection is actually part of a carefully devised plan by a Senator who suspects high-level military corruption and needs evidence that can't be buried in bureaucracy.

What begins as a carefully planned investigation quickly turns into a fight for survival. A corrupt Brigadier General, threatened by James's keen insight into solving problems and an embedded journalist sent to document James' every move, initiates a desperate plan to cover up the truth. A targeted roadside attack to eliminate the problem permanently.

But the plan quickly spirals out of control when the insurgent's leader double crosses the General and not only targets James's convoy but launches coordinated strikes against American bases across Iraq. Trapped in the middle of the largest attack on U.S. forces in years, James, a civilian with no combat training, makes a decision that will forever alter his life.

Broadcast live to the world, James's unexpected heroism becomes a testament to the courage found in the most unlikely of places.

Unscheduled Valor is a pulse-pounding story of ordinary courage in extraordinary circumstances, the unexpected price of heroism, and the lengths one man will go to do the right thing and uncover the truth. No matter the cost.
