Proxy Wars: The Business of War

About the Book

Named after Thor’s hammer, Mjollnir International, a private military contracting firm of “soldiers for hire,” is on the brink of bankruptcy. In a desperate attempt to save the company he founded, former Green Beret Josef Kosakowski agrees to protect American college students caught in the midst of a civil war on the island of Monrovia. The success of this mission thrusts Kosakowski’s team into a far more controversial – and dangerous – assignment: training the brutal Monrovian military.

When the Monrovians turn their newly acquired skills against the civilian population, Kosakowski’s operators know they must right a wrong. Led by former Delta Force commando Charlie Dunbar, the men and women of Mjollnir International fight for survival on the battlefield while the corporate “suits” struggle to save the company back in the boardroom.
