Beyond Gehenna - Book 1: Tour of Duty

A thriller that's got some humor-until it doesn't. Then it becomes your worst nightmare.

Elgin Thomas thought Vietnam would be his escape. Running from a troubled past and horrific nightmares that won't let him sleep, this unlikely hero finds himself deep in the heart of Vietnam's central highland district.

Thrust into a corrupt society consumed by chaos and injustice, Elgin discovers that war extracts a price steeper than he ever imagined. The combat is brutal. The choices are impossible. And the nightmares? They're just getting started.

During a clandestine mission in Cambodia's deadly killing fields, Elgin comes face-to-face with the dreaded Khmer Rouge. Confronted by his own mortality he faces an impossible choice: abandon his mission and flee, or stay and fight a battle he cannot win.

When Elgin is fatally wounded, a bad situation spirals into the unthinkable. What happens next defies explanation-a psychological thriller that transcends the boundaries between life and death, sanity and madness. This YA fantasy fiction with horror elements plunges readers into a bone-chilling depiction of war's realities and a horrifying glimpse into the afterlife, haunting you long after the final page.

Beyond Gehenna: Tour of Duty is the explosive first volume of a two-part series-a thriller in 2026 that grabs you from the opening line and doesn't let go. Part war story, part supernatural mystery, this rollercoaster ride barrels toward a surprise ending you won't see coming.

Perfect readers who devour psychological thriller books that blur the line between the living and the damned.

Fair warning: Not your typical war story, this is what happens when a soldier's battle doesn't end at death-it only gets darker.
