Beschreibung

In this dramatic, action-packed novel of the Vietnam War, U.S. Marine troops encounter North Vietnamese soldiers in the jungle. In war, every action has a beginning and an end . . .Echo Among Warriors is a story of close combat between two opposing, equally committed adversaries. The powerful narrative immerses the reader in both sides of the battle, playing and replaying the same battle sequence from alternating viewpoints—through the eyes of the Marines and through the eyes of the North Vietnamese. The bullet fired from a Marine’s M-16 at a silhouetted enemy soldier crouched on the jungle path will in the next chapter tear into the flesh of that crouched NVA trooper. The story—unfolding from the initial contact to the final horrific ending—represents just one of perhaps thousands of deadly encounters that reflect the reality of battle—a mind-numbing, intensely personal experience that forever changes the participant.Praise for Echo Among Warriors “An intense, you-are-there, fictionalized consideration of close-quarters fighting during the American war in Vietnam. The final ten chapters are as realistically and breathlessly action-packed as you will read anywhere.” —The VVA Veteran “Incredible detail . . . great read. . . . I know once I started reading it, it would be non-stop, and it was.” —Major Fred Allison USMC (Ret).

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE 
     
     
     
    The white rabbit crashes storytime with Sila, Malcolm, and Seong-Jae—a little too literally, leaving our intrepid detectives battered but not broken. Yet what they find with the white rabbit's arrival could destroy even the strongest man: a diabolical game with over two dozen lives at stake, turning their final showdown into a macabre stage play with the white rabbit as its star. 
     
     
     
    Injured, limping, Malcolm and Seong-Jae must not only survive, but protect others until help can arrive; until they can corner their targets, and finally end the horror of the white rabbit's reign. The odds are evened—but the white rabbit has a more sinister plan in mind. 
     
     
     
    One must die so the other can live. 
     
     
     
    And carry on to tell the tale of his legacy, as he brings his performance to a shattering end.
