Official synopsis Publisher
Lieutenant Sam Gatlin is back in Vietnam because he has something to prove–to himself. This time, Vietnam takes him deeper into the mysterious yin-yang of the society. From the opening events, there are betrayals, spies, hidden secrets and the beginning of questions–of the meaning of war, of loyalty, of death and love–that Sam might finally understand by the surprising end of the novel. War as the Conradian heart of darkness and life in Vietnam as seen through a Greene-like quiet American. Full of rich characters, multi-cultural soldiers and civilians—and with a protagonist bent, against all odds, on “doing the right thing.”
