    About this ebook

    In this first outing of a new short story series by Staff Sergeant Robert Evans, Sergeant O'Quinn finds himself battling in an underground mixed martial arts fight in Iraq. Is the fight really just two men battling, or is it a setup for something far more dangerous for the American soldiers involved?

    Author

    Robert Evans

    A veteran of the Army Reserves with over twenty years in uniform and a deployment in Iraq, Robert Evans’ career in the military began in 1984 with enlistment in the United States Navy. From then he has worked in several industries in the civilian sector; Teaching, Retail, Oil-field Engineer, a brief stint as a Stock Broker, and finally landing in the Utility World where he has worked for the past ten years. For most of this time his association with the military was in a Reserve capacity, but in 2004 he answered the call and deployed with the 2688 Transportation Company to Iraq, earning the Army’s Meritorious Service Medal. Robert makes his home in the foothills of central California, with his Wife, two sons, two cats, one dog, four goats, and ten chickens.

      The O’Quinn Fights: Basement Brawl

      By Robert Evans

      I knew I was in trouble when I stepped out of the Humvee and the crowded street went quiet. It wasn’t unusual for the Iraqis to look at soldiers when they arrived in their part of town, but it was another thing for all sound to end. A suicide bomber wasn’t the problem, and wasn’t the reason for my uneasiness; these people wouldn’t have been on the street if one of those crack head idiots were set to blow themselves up for Allah. Something else had these locals out and about in the midafternoon heat, watching and
