Poetic Justice - Justice Series, #1

Brad Peterson is a highly trained Special Forces operative with less than a month of military service left. He is looking forward to a bright future in the civilian sector. But when his last mission in Afghanistan goes horribly wrong, Brad is injured and his best friend dies. Back in the United States and recuperating from his injuries, he soon immerses himself in gambling and alcohol, in an effort to erase the guilt he feels over his best friend's death.
Only after he finds himself in jail following a bar fight, he sees the light, and creates the Peterson Foundation. Aided by an ex-Special Forces team, the foundation takes on an evil warlord in Africa as well as pirates in the Indian Ocean. With his life hanging in the balance, can Brad find redemption in the war-torn Dark Continent?
