Summary

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).

    Trudy and Bev have been friends for longer than they can count, and something more than lovers to each other for some time now—a fact both accepted and ignored by their husbands.

And nearer still is teenager Greg, trying to define the complicated feelings he has about himself and his two close friends.
