"Mass Market Paperback. New. List $ 7.99. [St. Martin's Press] 384 pages. From the Publisher It has been said that chance plays no greater role in any other human endeavor than war. For the fourteen men of Reconnaissance Team Kilo, a Special Forces team operating in Iraq, this truism is hammered home to each and every one of them with a vengeance when an operation that should have been routine falls apart. A chance encounter with an Iraqi Army unit destroys Captain Erick Burman's team, scattering those fortunate enough to escape capture and setting in motion an operation named ""Fanfare"" designed to save the survivors of RT Kilo, salvage American honor, and extract revenge. The misfortune of RT Kilo provides opportunities for those responsible for planning and translating Fanfare into action. For Robert Delmont, a staff officer assigned to draft and oversee the implementation of the plan, his creation gives him a chance to escape, if only for awhile, from his desk in the Pentagon. To Harry Shadock, the high risk mission offers him a once in a lifetime opportunity to lead the Ranger battalion he has trained. And for Nancy Kozak, Fanfare creates a perfect setting in which to test, under fire, the Army's new high tech system designed to enhance the combat capabilities of the individual soldier. While every effort to save them is being made, the surviving members of RT Kilo face a grueling test of character and endurance that some find they are unable to bear. Equally daunting are the unexpected choices that the wives and families find themselves making as they wait for the deliverance of their loved ones. An Affair of Chance is a story that follows the experience of the Americans being held prisoners, the American military personnel planning and preparing the rescue attempt, and the numerous attempts to resolve a growing crisis, that could spin out of control at any moment."
