The Medic! series concludes with the story of Chris, who is too young to remember the world before September 11, 2001. All his life, he dreamed of being a firefighter and paramedic, from playing games with his grandfather to watching a local fire engine respond to calls. He foregoes college to train as a firefighter, and enlists in the Army Reserve as a combat medic. As his civilian career advances, he wins the heart of a beautiful young woman, although he soon finds himself in the middle of the longest war in American history.
