Lieutenant Sam Gatlin is back in Vietnam because he has something to prove--to himself. This time, Vietnam takes him deeper into the mysterious yin-yang of the society. From the opening events, there are betrayals, spies, hidden secrets and the beginning of questions--of the meaning of war, of loyalty, of death and love--that Sam might finally understand by the surprising end of the novel. War as the Conradian heart of darkness and life in Vietnam as seen through a Greene-like quiet American. Full of rich characters, multi-cultural soldiers and civilians---and with a protagonist bent, against all odds, on "doing the right thing."

Dan Guenther is a poet for all seasons who speaks to us through unique imagery and often brilliant contrast about his many years walking the western landscape, the old Ute trails in Colorado, foreign lands, and a war-torn countryside. His deep relationship with the natural world, and all its creatures has a way of healing, making connections, and balancing one’s life in the great scheme of living and dying. In silence and solitude and in secret places, from Vietnam to a winter campsite, he ponders the big questions, and we listen. His meditations on time, space and light, ancient cliff dwellers and new beginnings, awaken the poet in us. We feel his compassion and respect for all things living…and dead. The world of the night heron, wolverine, mule deer, and lynx, all hold mystical truths for him.
