Sincerely, five stars are not
enough for this masterfully written story by Mingo Kane. A young marine comes
home after his third tour of duty in Iraq, and struggles to adapt to a society
he doesn’t fit into anymore. As he buses across the country, Tom tries to
grapple with interacting with his fellow passengers while experiencing a series
of flashbacks to his time in Iraq. The plot is tight, the imagery searing, the
writing rich and poetic, and the story deeply memorable. Scars of the Prophet
will linger with you long after you turn the last page. I can’t recommend it
enough, and I know I’ll be reading this book again.
