Reviews
On Dec 7 2004, Pazzo Books said:
A different take on the Vietnam conflict with a more psycho-spiritual bent. The characters are believable and sympathetic, and the air of existential gloom that pervades the book is effective but manages to avoid being oppressive. Written by a former Marine Chaplain stationed at Da Nang, the novel is a window into a facet of Vietnam that is rarely if ever mentioned.
