Nineteen-year-old Sebastien Ranes spends his days knocking around Eagle River, Alaska, and his nights working as a janitor. His girlfriend's father hates him, and his own parents' opinion of him isn't much better. Broke and down on his luck, Sebastien robs a grocery store, making off with nearly $4,000. His image is all over the television within hours, but before Sebastien can be arrested, a drunk driver smashes into his Jeep in the middle of town. Things couldn't get much worse until a Marine recruiter who witnesses the accident gives Sebastien a ride home...and a way out. Embarking on an unexpected journey, the Marine Corps shows Sebastien another world--of abuse and authority, of war and compassion, of lust and consequences--and by the time he returns home, he'll be forever changed.… (altro)

This is Piper's follow up to Greyhound, which I loved. This book finds "Ranes" living with his mother and step-father in Alaska. Having just graduated High School he is at loose ends and basically a hot mess. Circumstances have him joining the Marines, where he tests extremely high for intelligence and also seems to test in ways that intrigue and confound the brass - to me it seems like he has a disconnect with personal relationships and other personality traits that might make him a great soldier/Black Ops kinda guy... (I kept thinking of Huck from Scandal...). The book follows him thru basic training, D.C and Desert Storm. I found the book both fascinating and frustrating - I wanted him to succeed, to be happy, to never go back, overcome his horrible childhood, "to get right".....maybe the next book? (
