Falcons on the Floor

On the eve of the first siege of Fallujah, Salim and Khalil decide their best chances of avoiding the battle is to escape up the Euphrates river. Pursued by Coalition and Fedayeen forces, they discover that the war will redefine who they are no matter how far they try to run from it.

Early praise from Dahr Jamail:

Falcons on the Floor is the rare novel about war that re-humanizes everyone involved. Through excellent writing and a deep understanding of what occupation does, to civilians and soldiers alike, Sirois and Alshujairy take the reader on a deeply personal journey where we are shown how and why war should be avoided at all cost.
