The Soul’s Motivation

What goes on in the mind of a Soldier during as he prepares for war? Fear? Patriotism? Eagerness? Does one face the realities of possible death or focus on the pleasures that most take for granted?

Second Lieutenant Kyle Scott feels those emotions and more as he is about to embark on a deployment to Iraq within the first year of his military service after college graduation.

Before and during the deployment, Kyle has to overcome his own challenges and anxieties to be a strong leader and serve his Army unit as he carries out his duties as an Intelligence Officer in 53rd Field Artillery. He carries the burdens of his life back in the United States and faces new challenges that test his tenacity and desire to succeed. Failure is not an option, and Kyle must rise above all to be the best Soldier that he can be.

The Soul’s Motivation is the second novel of the Men of 1302 series that follows three former college roommates, Jasper, Kyle, and Rodney, as they continue to mature and experience the trials and tribulations of adulthood after their time at Pembrook College.
