Bookroo's summary

In the frozen chaos of the Korean War, Lieutenant Everett Donovan awakens alone in a crater, his platoon lost to a mine explosion. As he rises amidst fallen comrades, a gunshot echoes, bringing him face to face with a Korean soldier. In this tense standoff, Donovan must choose between forging an unlikely brotherhood or succumbing to inevitable bloodshed. Each decision carries profound consequences, challenging his resolve and humanity. Will they find common ground, or will the war claim another victim? The answer lies in the heart of the battlefield, where survival and morality collide.

From the publisher

On December 1, 1950, during the heart of the Korean War, Lieutenant Everett Donovan awakens in a mortar crater behind enemy lines. During the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, a mine explosion has killed his entire platoon of U.S. Marines. Shaken and shivering from the subzero temps, the lieutenant struggles to his feet and stands among the bodies of his fellow Devil Dogs. Suddenly, a shot rings out! Donovan falls to his knees and when he looks up, he’s face to face with his Korean counterpart. Both men know the standoff will end in brotherhood or blood . . . and neither choice will come easy.
