When West Point graduate Mike Adams is recruited by the CIA after demonstrating exceptional leadership during the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, he is thrust into the heart of the Middle East. Assigned to the CIA station at the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, Mike's mission takes a dangerous turn as the Israeli-Hamas conflict erupts into brutal warfare. Tasked with rescuing American hostages held in Gaza, Mike faces a mission that is both perilous and personal.
As the conflict spirals into a regional war, fueled by Iran's ambitions and escalating political instability, Mike unofficially embeds with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Balancing his role as a combatant on the front lines and a first responder aiding civilians caught in the crossfire, he is forced to confront the unimaginable physical and emotional toll of warfare.
Against this backdrop of violence and chaos, a lame-duck U.S. president refuses to escalate military involvement, a decision that reverberates across the region and leaves countless lives hanging in the balance. Mike's courage, determination, and sacrifice highlight the true cost of leadership and the impossible choices faced in the fight to protect lives.
Screams Without Words is a powerful, heart-wrenching story that honors those who serve, the families they leave behind, and the silent voices of victims lost to the shadows of war. It is a timely reflection on sacrifice, politics, and the human cost of decisions made behind closed doors.
