About This Book

Rose Campbell remembers her father's advice to always 'take things slow,' a lesson she follows carefully as she works to safely disarm bombs in Afghanistan. Alongside her partner Eli, she faces the challenge of staying alert when the dangers start to feel too familiar, knowing that every moment counts. Their mission is filled with suspense as they outsmart hidden threats and protect those around them.
