The Profession by Steven Pressfield 

My friend Steven Pressfield has a new novel out, one that touches on many themes and issues discussed here at ZP, SWJ Blog, Global Guerrillas, Feral Jundi and the rest of this corner of the blogosphere. Sometimes fiction can be a lot more fun 🙂

You can read the first chapter here.

Will have commentary and review at a later date.

    I finished it.  Zenpundit gets a shout-out in the book.  That’s like a subaltern getting mentioned in despatches!

    Awesome! Though it may tend to cause readers to suspect the impartiality of my review 🙂
