The Severance (Standard format, CD)

"The Severance," is a novel whose authenticity springs from author Elliott Sawyer's two combat tours as a decorated captain in Iraq and Afghanistan. A "rehabilitation platoon," made up of bitter, unruly troublemakers and misfits whose past disciplinary lapses has led the army to put them into a unit assigned the missions no one else wants. They are twenty-first-century counterparts of the World War II rogue soldiers in "The Dirty Dozen." Platoon leader Captain Jake Roberts and his men, fighting and patrolling in the Afghan mountains, discover a hoard of American dollars and devise a plan to hide it and later smuggle it out of the country, calling it their "severance pay package." Soon the men discover the Taliban insurgents aren't the only enemy they must face. Someone has found out about the Severance -- and wants it.
