Horrors of War

"War is hell," but something about Combat Outpost (COP) Najil seems worse than the old adage traditionally implies.

Ten members of the “Reaper” platoon arrive at COP Najil where the previous unit had hunkered down avoiding something . . . something that they had been unwilling to talk about, before they rushed off the base.

What could scare a company of hardened infantryman?

While the Reapers settle into their new surroundings, strange occurrences become more commonplace. Things only get worse when they are assigned to hold Observation Post (O.P.) #7, while the rest of their unit clears the valley below of the Taliban threat.

How can the Reapers possibly overcome the deadly threat of an unseen enemy as they die one by one?

O.P. #7

Matt Molgaard's Horror Novel Reviews

Lou Rera

"In the opening chapters of this novel I immediately could sense the difference between a researched work versus one gleaned from experience."

"O.P.#7 revs up the tension and makes the reader see what these soldiers see."

"Fenner touches on some larger issues of prejudice, sexual assault, homosexuality, and religion and religious differences"

"This is a quick read with lots of action. There is a good deal of gore, but hey, “War is hell.”"
