Norman "Doc" Rodgers is in a world of pain.
A young combat medic in Afghanistan, he's eager to avenge his father's death in the World Trade Center and make sense of a new world that feels like it's fallen to pieces. Haunted by hallucinatory encounters his only solace is a barely concealed addiction to the precious opiates he's supposed to dole out sparingly to those beyond help.
Old Silk Road weaves a striking tale of permanent terror, hazy objectives, shadowy contractors and the toll of modern warfare on soldiers and civilians alike. In this tautly-plotted debut novel Caro, a veteran who served in Afghanistan, tells the story of a soldier's undoing in raw, incendiary and hypnotic prose. It's an extraordinary portrait one soldier's frustration, confusion and ambivalence, written by someone who's been there.
