Five paramilitary Navy SEAL operators defend the residents of a remote
mountain farming village in Afghanistan from attacks by marauding Taliban. Led
by the war-weary Hector, the operators and villagers form mutual bonds of honor
and respect leading up to a climactic battle where the "Lions of Panjshir" are
desperately outnumbered.
Based on a story concept by Christopher McQuarrie, screenwriter of The
Usual Suspects and director of the recent feature film Jack Reacher,
this modern re-imagining of Akira Kurosawa's classic Seven Samurai set
within the lens of the current Afghan conflict is given dramatic authenticity by
co-writers Mark Long (The Silence of Our Friends, Shrapnel) and
Dan Capel (founding member of SEAL Team Six), and includes a forward by first
command officer of SEAL Team Six, military consultant Richard Marcinko. This
deluxe limited edition hardcover comes packed with a sealed envelope containing
story-related artifacts and documents pulled from within the world of
Rubicon, expanding on the events in an interactive, puzzle-like
fashion.
