Despite possessing enhanced senses, superhuman strength, and agility in his human form, Michael is at a low point, haunted by the loss of the woman he believes is his soulmate, and strained by his secret and his past mistakes. While he uses his unique abilities to thwart crime and help strangers, he questions the point of it all, feeling his efforts are just small drops in a skeptical world.

    For fans of Phil Klay, Kevin Powers, and Tim O'Brien: Dramatic, powerful, authentic short stories of soldiers fighting a "forever war," in combat and back home.Combat takes a different toll on each soldier; so does coming home. All the Ruined Men by Bill Glose comprises linked stories that show veterans struggling for normalcy as they grapple with flashbacks, injuries (both physical and psychological), damaged relationships, loss of faith, and loss of memory. Beginning in 2003, All the Ruined Men spans ten years, from the confident beginning of America’s “forever war” to the confusion and disillusionment that followed.As a former paratrooper and Gulf War veteran, author Bill Glose is closely bound to these stories. Drawing from his own experiences and military knowledge, Glose presents a cast of complex and sympathetic characters: young men who embraced what seemed like a war of just cause, who trained and fought and lived and died together, and who have returned to families, wives, children, civilian life, and an America that has lost its way.Unforgettable, moving, filled with moments of anguish, doubt, love, hope, and other emotions, All the Ruined Men is a singular debut collection.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.

They attempt to teach her how to function in the civilized world, confident that they will be rescued and that Aileen will come with them when they are. However, Aileen is a stubborn girl, and she resists being forced to behave in ways that are unnatural and illogical.Will they ever be rescued?
