Description:
Hidden away in a
brooding Gothic manor in the deep woods is Center Eighteen, a secret military
"rest camp" currently housing twenty-seven inmates, all officers who
have succumbed to a sudden outbreak of mental illness. Have the men truly lost
their minds, are they only pretending to be insane to avoid combat, or is some
more sinister conspiracy at work?
Desperate
for answers, the Pentagon has placed a brilliant Marine psychiatrist in charge
of the base and its deranged occupants. A man of deep faith and compassion,
Colonel Kane hopes to uncover the root of the men's bizarre obsessions. But as
Center Eighteen descends into chaos, Kane finds the greatest challenge may be
his own buried demons. . .
