Four years after a heroic rescue mission in Afghanistan, former Pararescueman Aiden McCoy continues to fight for the lives of veterans – this time at home, as they struggle with the physical and psychological effects of war.Meanwhile in Iraq, Aiden’s lifelong friend Jake Lyons impresses everyone with his combat rescue skills. As Jake’s reputation grows, so does his exposure to the daily horrors of a chaotic war. Aiden must help his friend confront the challenges of trauma, and get him back in the game.Spanning two years in locations across the Middle East, American soil, and the shadowlands of intelligence agencies and special operations, The Stars and Their Places continues the tale begun in Beyond the Golden Hour. It is the second of four novels.Praise for The Stars and Their Places“A moving, realistic story of men in combat trying to save lives, and of those at home whom they love. A powerful story of love and bravery.”-David EubankFree Burma Rangers“I loved the book…I truly appreciate wrapping the wives and kids left behind into the story in a fundamental and sympathetic way. My family still bears scar tissue from all of my trips. Good to see that recognized.”-Wm. Brendan WelshUS Army Special Forces (Retired)"Vince wrote this book as if he was boots on the ground observing these events in real-time. The book realistically covers the events near and far that made up Operation Iraqi Freedom in the mid-2000s."- Landon ChapmanSergeant USMC, OIF & OEF combat veteran“A compelling, fresh take on the war novel. Vince Guerra skillfully weaves combat and home front threads though The Stars and Their Places. He deals accurately and sensitively with TBI and PTSD, taking care not to fall into easy stigmatizing stereotypes. I was left with one question: when is the next Vince Guerra novel coming out?” – Clifford A. BrownColonel US Army (Retired)
