Description:

Dwight Johnson is a new medic with the 173d Airborne Brigade, and green as hell. Despite this, he becomes an instant hero during a sapper attack on his first night at the base camp. Oddly, when he awakens the next morning, he remembers neither the attack nor what he did to achieve such status. He soon discovers that whatever happened, it triggered a clairvoyant ability to not only feel the enemy's hostility but to use this ability to pinpoint their location and intentions.

Thus begins the most defining novel of the Vietnam war experience, encompassing the wide range of circumstances, emotions and experiences that a combat medic and Airborne trooper could encounter; courage,fear, hatred, love, rage, guilt, and finally leaving the reader to recognize war as it really is and its consequences on the human soul.

Heretofore, it seems that Vietnam war writers either did not experience real combat or do not know how to convey the experiences. Here's your chance to discover what it was really like and, more importantly, to know what combat veterans carry with them for the rest of their lives.
