Publisher's Synopsis
In this gripping stretch of Lost in the Sands, the story shifts from the chaos of combat to the quieter, but no less brutal, aftermath of survival. The narrator-a humble fueler caught in the middle of a deadly ambush-carries the emotional weight of being one of the few to make it out. As the mission continues and the fuel keeps flowing, so does the internal unraveling. Each chapter explores the layers of guilt, purpose, and the psychological toll of war. From ghost-filled mirrors in the desert to the jarring stillness of home, these chapters offer a powerful reflection on what it means to survive-and what gets left behind when you do.
