According to
the book description Penalty of Pride (Dispersive Ground), “The powder keg of
war lights when the brutal legacy of Kim Jong-il is passed to his youngest son.
As the Young General struggles to cope with his inheritance of fear, famine, disease,
and death, there are powerful forces lurking in the shadows, ready to usurp
control of the failing nation. When the dead dictator’s eldest son realizes his
brother has lost control of their nation, he calls James Faulkirk to help him
end his family’s vile nepocracy. James, an ex-CIA analyst haunted by the pain
of his own losses, climbs out of his soju bottles as the countdown to war nears
zero. But can the unlikely duo warn the world and rescue the Korean peninsula
before it sinks into the putrid hole which has already rotted its very
bedrock?”
About the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment
According to the United States Army, “it owes its modern night fighting aviation capabilities to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) who pioneered night flight techniques, shared in the development of equipment and proved that “Night Stalkers Don’t Quit,” a motto the Regiment lives by. The unit originally formed from attachments of the 101st Airborne Division. It immediately entered into a period of intensive night flying, quickly becoming the Army’s premier night fighting aviation force and the Army’s only Special Operations Aviation force. Task Force 160 was officially recognized as a unit on Oct. 16, 1981, when it was designated the 160th Aviation Battalion. Since that time, the 160th has become known as the “Night Stalkers” because of its capability to strike undetected during the hours of darkness and its impeccable performance around the world.”
