Opis

My first novel was Summer of Love, Semper Fi. I used my Marine experiences to inject authenticity into that book and then expanded upon them to broaden the scope. Three years later I changed the recipe. I kept only the basic ingredients, flour, eggs and butter, added tasty new ingredients, and baked a completely different cake, Always Faithful. The price of this is about the same as several cups of coffee, but the pleasure of reading it will last a lot longer If you're not happy with this book, the next time you're in Fredericksburg, Virginia, give me a call, and I'll buy you lunch The twin fires of Vietnam and the late sixties are raging across America, scorching some, changing all. It is the Summer of Love, 1967. Nick Alexander is eighteen, skinny, and afraid to fight. His solution for personal validation seems simple, he joins the Marine Corps. But Nick and his best friend need to survive Vietnam. Nick rescues Lien, a beautiful young Vietnamese woman, from a brutal rape and falls for her. There's one huge obstacle to their romance - Lien's father hates Americans. And then the biggest challenge of his life. In a fire-fight in the jungle, a dying Marine reminds Nick of his promise to deliver a message to his fiancee. This will push the limits of friendship, duty, and love, and teach Nick the true meaning of Semper Fi - Always Faithful.
