TWO MISFITS.
ONE MISSION.
ZERO BACK-UP.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
Skwerl and Cheese are down on their luck after being screwed over by the US military. Skwerl used to work for the CIA s elite paramilitary wing until he was unceremoniously fired after a raid went bad in Afghanistan. Big Cheese Aziz, a legendary Afghan pilot also formerly employed by the CIA, is stuck working the graveyard shift at the local gas station.
Armed with a ton of unique and not obviously useful skills for peacetime living, both are recruited into a shadowy network of so-called sheepdogs working jobs for an anonymous dispatcher.
Their first mission? To repossess a luxury private jet stranded on a remote Ugandan airfield. Their fee: a cut of the jet s $5 million value. But nothing about the job adds up. Their contact vanishes. Their handler s motives are suspect. And when the women in their lives get involved one pregnant wife and one dominatrix the stakes skyrocket overnight.
From the jungles of Kampala to the glitz of Marseille, Sheepdogs is a sly, hilarious, action-packed thriller introducing an instantly iconic spy duo. Operating in the moral grey zone between predator and prey, this is a wild ride through the absurd underworld of war and intelligence.
