In The Terp, set in 2006, during the height of the Iraqi insurgency, Major Moss, a Civil Affairs officer, grapples with the lack of loyalty from his male interpreters in the volatile Tarmia sector. Frustrated, he boldly introduces female interpreters, believing they may bring a fresh perspective and a more commitment to the cause. However, his trusted chief of security, Staff Sergeant Robert Baker, is skeptical of this strategy, considering the profoundly ingrained chauvinism and sexism in the region. But with the arrival of Xena, a new interpreter, she will defy all stereotypes of what an Iraqi woman is supposed to be.

In the minds of the young people of Valleyport, it has taken root and grown into its varying forms. It is a celestial being that supersedes the big bang, that has been fully aware since the beginning. This creature has chased the self-conscious, the living, across a cosmos of darkness and empty space, and no one has ever escaped it. Life across the universe has whispered, in their hovels and huts and mansions, in rooms with roaring fires and bright lights, about It, about this thing that is alive and too old to be. They all know, at some time in their short atrophied lives, that it will find them, even though not a one (of the billions of children in the universe) has ever been able to remember why and to conquer it. But as the primordial force makes its way to the earth, to the city of Valleyport, and begins to spread, there is a chance of remembrance in the lives of two human beings, a chance to overcome.
