Summary
Evan “Buck” Buckley was not an honest person as much as he would like to be or even was trying to be in his own way. His dishonesty wasn’t malicious in the slightest though. He had his reasons, of course, but his entire identity was built on a shaky Jenga tower of lies. As much as he built it up, one by one the blocks were still removed over the years making the tower less and less stable.
Buck joined the 118 fresh out of the Navy and braced himself for all the questions that were about to come his way which he did not want to answer. Then, like a gift from above, somehow and shockingly, no one had read his resume, and he found he could start all over again, be a new person, someone completely different or maybe who he was supposed to be all along.

Summary
Buck has been here before—maybe not here, not this exact burial ground—but in this place of stillness, of isolation, of waiting for the end. Buck has danced with death enough times to know its steps. He has felt the world narrow to a pinpoint of breath, felt the cold rush of fear in his veins, felt the weight of knowing this could be it.
The lightning strike. The tsunami. The engine bombing. His own reckless, desperate need to do something, even if it meant running headlong into danger. Every time, he had invited disaster with open arms. Every time, people had looked at him and said he was reckless, thoughtless, stupid.
Or, when a call goes wrong and Buck is left to die, he has nothing to do but think as the end draws near. To think about his friends, his family, his life. He has escaped one-too-many close calls. But not this time. He is Icarus, and he has flown too close to the sun.
