A Heart for War L L Akers

In a world of stolen liberty, one soldier's valor becomes a symbol for the fight for freedom. When America is invaded, a new post-apocalyptic world brings one lost veteran back to reality when he's faced with a decision: mind his own business and guard his already war-torn heart, or take a chance to return valor to a fallen brother. Special Forces veteran, Sgt. First Class McNight's past is revisited, and his old skills are polished up. While returning one heart--the Purple Heart--to give back honor to his fallen comrade-in-arms, he might just find his own along the way. A Heart for War is a novella--short story--original included in the Limited Edition full collaborated Novel, Archie's Heart, with L. L. Akers, Boyd Craven, Patti Glaspy and L. Douglas Hogan. It is out of print--no longer available. Upon reader request, this is the new extended version of Akers' story from that collaborated novel, fleshed out to stand alone. **The audio version of Archie's Heart was a Top 5 Nominee for Audio of the Year 2019, performed by The Voice of the Apocalypse, Kevin Pierce, and is still available online.
