Old Silk Street is a prescient, powerful novel of the Afghan warfare by someone who's been there. Norman "Doc" Rodgers suspects he won't make it out of this one alive. He's a young fight medic in Afghanistan, eager to avenge his father's loss of life in the World Trade Center and seem sensible of a new world that feels like it's dropped to pieces. Haunted by hallucinatory encounters, his only solace is a scarcely concealed craving to the important opiates he's supposed to dole out sparingly to prospects beyond aid. In such a tautly plotted debut novel, Brandon Caro, a veteran who served in Afghanistan, instructs the story of a soldier's undoing in uncooked, incendiary, hypnotic prose that causes us to ask ourselves what we realize about the futility of warfare - and what other outcome we can expect.
