Waiting on Wednesday (6):
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Basically this is a way to spotlight books that we are eagerly waiting on.
From the publisher's website: Sergeant Lance Corporal Bekah Shaw joined the United States Marine reserves to help support herself and her son when her ex-husband, Billy Roy, decided they were no longer his responsibility. But when her team is activated and sent to Somalia on a peacekeeping mission, Bekah struggles with being separated from her son and vows to return safely. Once a successful Somalian businessman, Rageh Daud has lost everything. Determined to seek revenge on the terrorists who killed his wife and son, he teams up with a group of thieves, killers, and others displaced by war. Despite his better judgment, Daud becomes the protector of a young orphaned boy—who becomes a pawn between the warring factions. To defeat the terrorists and bring peace to the region, Bekah and her team must convince Daud that they are on the same side.
I love military stories, and this interest has been growing with the growing number of excellent military fiction that comes available.

What a great pick! So different than what usually pops up on the WoW lists. I like military books (fiction and non fiction) so I'll definitely add it to the list. Thanks for stopping by!
