  Twelve special forces soldiers from the army, navy, air force and armed police were intercepted on their way back home after retirement. A few days later, they were suddenly sent to a war-torn country to perform base guard duties. This sudden task disrupted their plans to return home and opened the door to death for them.

  During their mission, they experienced base defense battles, assisted local governments in counter-attacks, were ambushed in deep mountains, engaged in sniper battles, encountered enemy forces, were attacked by car bombs, and participated in long-distance pursuit battles. They were also surrounded by armed civilians with unknown motives and had to sneak into enemy territory at midnight to search for the bodies of their comrades and rescue hostages.

  This series of tragic experiences reduced the number of special forces soldiers from twelve to four. In the end, the four survivors returned home with scars all over their bodies.

  The author of this book served in a special forces unit for many years and has rich experience in military life and deep combat experience. It is rare for real special forces soldiers to write about special forces themes, which makes this book unique and authentic.

  The twelve special forces soldiers' images are vividly portrayed by the author, presenting a three-dimensional picture of their bloody battles on the battlefield. The writing style is elegant and atmospheric, with different military leaders having distinct personalities and skills. This group of soldiers gathered together to create a legendary story, but what kind of environment and enemy could make them fall one by one in a foreign land, never to return home?

  The author raises a question: What is the fate of soldiers? Fortunately, this book not only presents bloody battle scenes and special forces' military skills but also explores the psychological changes and tragic feelings of the characters on the battlefield.

  Killing and being killed, comrades and innocent civilians dying in front of them, being forced to fight with civilians due to misunderstandings... The sound of gunfire and the loss of life questioned their inner selves. No one expected that these killing machines were actually the weakest inside, and they needed comfort and protection more than anyone else.

  The author uses simple sentences to reveal the special forces' journey and the deep brotherly love between comrades, reflecting the huge harm that war brings to humanity. After finishing the book, readers can feel a sense of shock - not only from the special forces' performances on the battlefield but also from the conflict between war, family, life, and peace.

  All the logic and life are so fragile in the face of gunfire, and the author describes this in the book. However, more thoughts need to be reflected upon by readers. As the book says: "Bullets shattered everything here, and the future is invisible."

  I think that only those who have truly experienced war can feel this shock.
