{"product_id":"2940150917972","title":"Old Silk Road","description":"Norman \"Doc\" Rodgers is in a world of pain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA young combat medic in Afghanistan, he's eager to avenge his father's death in the World Trade Center and make sense of a new world that feels like it's fallen to pieces. Haunted by hallucinatory encounters his only solace is a barely concealed addiction to the precious opiates he's supposed to dole out sparingly to those beyond help. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOld Silk Road weaves a striking tale of permanent terror, hazy objectives, shadowy contractors and the toll of modern warfare on soldiers and civilians alike. In this tautly-plotted debut novel Caro, a veteran who served in Afghanistan, tells the story of a soldier's undoing in raw, incendiary and hypnotic prose. It's an extraordinary portrait one soldier's frustration, confusion and ambivalence, written by someone who's been there.","brand":"Post Hill Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156369752304,"sku":"2940150917972","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150917972_p0.jpg?v=1763755430","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150917972","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
