Is The Mullahs Storm based on an actual event?
The novel isn’t based on any one particular event in the Afghanistan war. However, its scenes and settings mirror real-world conditions in Afghanistan. You might say The Mullah’s Storm is an imagining of my worst fears. As an Air National Guard flight engineer flying missions into Iraq and Afghanistan, what worried me most wasn’t the thought of getting shot down and killed. It was the thought of getting shot down and not killed. My main character, Major Parson, lives that nightmare.
