An American family's 134, 000-word two-part, action-filled fiction story from the Vietnam era. Based on Ronald's tour guarding nuclear weapons in Europe and twin Rusty's actual combat narrative with the Marines in Vietnam. How the family, with an unflappable faith in their countries, duty to fight the spread of Communism, survived the war's turmoil that lambasted families, and the country's persona for years.

Vietnam, the rabbit hole about some went in, some came out, and some are still there. Some memories won't leave you in peace. They haunt Rusty and Rory and go round and round in their memories until they write it. This thriller/adventure story is a bridge between fact and fiction set in the Vietnam era by a witness to the witnesses of the quagmire based on true life events.

The twins and their childhood friends march off to the drumbeat of never having lost a war. They do their duty and struggle to make it home intact. Rory's fight is about a psychological/internal struggle of perseverance to battle a psychotic sergeant. Rusty's fight is about physical and emotional endurance in the face of constant death. Will Rusty survive his sister's prophecy and the family curse of twin Uncle Rusty being killed in World War II? Who survives, and who is smashed by war's merciless fist? The survivors drifted into psychodelamania for years. The lessons they learned and the map they used are relevant to the turmoil of today's world. This story unfolds unlike the traditional story. It unfolds more in a transitional, episodic, chapter-by-chapter of each brother's path. Good stories are exciting to read or watch, like a cobra fighting a mongoose. Folks fascinated. Gotta see what comes next. This is one of those war stories.
