THE LONG NIGHT PATROL

THE LONG NIGHT PATROL

Military Fiction - Book 15

In the Arctic darkness, the most dangerous weapon may be an order nobody actually gave.

A wounded enemy officer arrives at a remote military outpost wearing an American tourniquet.

The soldier who applied it has been missing for nineteen hours.

And somewhere beyond the frozen ridges, someone is manufacturing a war.

At Northern Joint Observation Post Kestrel, Captain Lena Ortiz is fighting to keep the wounded alive as a brutal Arctic storm cuts communications, threatens the power supply, and closes every safe route of escape.

Major Elias Ward prepares a desperate aerial rescue. But the navigation data cannot be trusted, an emergency landing site may be a deadly deception, and orders transmitted through legitimate military channels begin to contradict the evidence on the ground.

For intelligence officer Mara Voss, the mystery grows darker with every discovery. A hidden installation. Falsified flight records. A ship carrying people who officially do not exist. And a chain of military authorizations that leads dangerously close to allied command.

As the crisis spreads beyond the ice, soldiers, civilians, and former enemies must decide whom to trust-and what they are willing to sacrifice to keep a rescue mission from becoming the first battle of a wider war.

In a world where maps can lie, voices can be imitated, and orders can be manufactured, one question remains:

When the truth disappears from the chain of command, who will risk everything to bring it back?

THE LONG NIGHT PATROL is a military suspense thriller combining Arctic survival, international intrigue, battlefield medicine, intelligence deception, and the human cost of modern warfare.

The storm is real. The orders may not be. And the people trapped between them have nowhere left to run.

Yan Xiong delivers a story of courage, conscience, and survival at the edge of war.
