Time of Flight

In his debut book, Emch explores the full spectrum of human emotions service members go through when they're put into dangerous situations fraught with chaos and uncertainty. "The good, the bad, the hilarious, and the surprising are all included in this war story of human experience and emotion," said Emch, who served in the U.S. Army for 12 years as both a musician and an Apache helicopter pilot. "I lead readers on a journey from what seemed like safety from within the borders of an allied nation to the war-torn deserts of Iraq along a crescendo of combat missions." Emch weaves a story filled with a mix of high tension and adventure including launching missiles at up to over 1.5 times the maximum effective range in many last-ditch efforts to aid soldiers on the ground.
