Summary

Afghanistan has been abandoned by the international community and left to the ravages of warlords and mercenaries, who vie for dominance over the vast resources that flow along the new Silk Road. For Callum King, a former army officer, who was discharged from the military after a failed operation, his past remains very much tied to that forsaken place. When he receives an offer from one of his former soldiers to work for a private security company in Kandahar, the contract represents an opportunity to make amends for his failures as a soldier and a leader. But, the cost would mean walking away from a family that he's tried so hard to put back together. An Idle King is a modern retelling of an ancient story about lost soldiers, who can never go home.
