Sinopse

In the fog-shrouded jungles of Vietnam, seventeen-year-old Marine sniper Judah Connor Doolin hunts the enemy with lethal precision while wrestling with his own moral compass. Abandoned at birth and adopted by loving parents, Doolin fled high school to prove himself in combat, carrying his mother's gold cross as his only connection to a complicated past.
 
When Doolin discovers evidence of treachery within American ranks—coordinates of planned operations in enemy hands—he forms an unlikely alliance with the enigmatic Colonel Alfred Mallroy. Together, they embark on a dangerous investigation that spans from the highlands of Vietnam to the streets of Saigon, unraveling a conspiracy that puts both their lives at risk.
 
Spanning decades and continents, "A My 3rd Mother" follows Doolin's journey from young sniper to a man seeking redemption. In Mexico, he confronts drug cartel violence with the same calculated precision he once used in combat. Back in America, now working as a paramedic in Chicago, he encounters a trauma surgeon harboring secrets that connect to Doolin's own mysterious origins.
 
This unflinching examination of war's psychological wounds and lasting trauma offers a meditation on loyalty, duty, and the possibility of redemption. Through Doolin's eyes, readers witness the complex moral calculations of those caught in the machinery of conflict and the lifelong quest to reclaim one's humanity after experiencing war's darkest corners.
 
If you enjoyed "The Things They Carried," "Matterhorn," and "Tree of Smoke," you'll love "A My 3rd Mother: Vietnam and the Journey Toward Redemption."

    Colton Gray doesn't look like your typical deputy marshal. He's too young and good-looking for a West Texas lawman. At least that's what his boss thinks. As captain, Marshal John Timmons feels this new kid Colton isn't up to the job—at least not yet—so he sends him on minor assignments to keep him out of Boot Hill. But to everyone's surprise, young Colton manages to track down Eli Doolin and Casey Tubbs, the notorious "Old Man Bank Robbers." Not only that, he claims he gunned them down in a shootout, earning high praise from the West Texas chief marshal's office. And a legend is born . . . 
     
     
     
    But there's a hitch to the story: Colton Gray lied. 
     
     
     
    Truth is, he never killed Doolin and Tubbs—not after learning the righteous reasons behind their crimes. Instead, he let those good old boys go free, as long as they promised to stop robbing banks. Sure, Colton may have bent the rules a little. But Colton knows he did the right thing. Sometimes a man has to forge his own path on the road to justice—even if that means going outside the law. Or lying to your boss. In his heart of hearts, Colton Gray knows he was born for the job of US deputy marshal. And sometimes that job gets a little dirty . . .
