A Brother Wolf Saga novel. Mac was Black Ops. Nothing made him afraid... not until the day he got into a fight overseas. He was too drunk and things went too far. He thought his life was over but his best friend covered for him. He swore he would never touch another drop. He didn't drink when his friend disappeared. He didn't drink when his friend reappeared a year later a changed man, silent and afraid but refusing to let Mac help. He didn't drink until that fateful day he found out there was more to fear in the world than his own drunken fist. A series of encounters brought him face to face with more than he could handle. It was the night he went out and bought not one, not two, but three tall bottles. He told his crew to watch over him while he quietly and sincerely got totally drunk, trying to come to terms with a world that had just turned upside down on him.
