Ghosts in Afghanistan. Aliens returning gifts. Christmas in a war zone. "Coming Back to Kabul" is an ecclectic collection of military and science fiction, with an essay and a poem for good measure, by a virtual unknown. Many of the stories are based on or inspired by three decades of military service; others just popped in out of nowhere. In this collection you'll find previously published works, pieces with an impressive lineage of rejection slips, and stories exposed to the world for the first time ever.
