In a war-torn world half a century ago, a young man named Nathan Ben seeks to survive and understand his own humanity in a foreign land and collision of cultures. As a mortar man in the infantry and then the battalion correspondent, he is given the freedom to explore these worlds and is taken ever deeper into harm's way.
He becomes close to the local people. Hoan, a National Policeman who is not who he seems to be and protects Nathan without him knowing. His sister, Hoa, with whom Nathan shares mutual comfort in times of great sorrow. And little brother, Moi, a sly street hustler.
Moi guides Nathan up a nearby mountain to a monastery where he meets Brother Thich, an impassioned monk who wants only peace for his people. On that same mountain Nathan meets a reclusive old man and they enter into a dialogue that challenges him to his core as the war rages on around them.
Nathan learns many myths and the importance of poetry in this land. Of the "wandering souls" of the dead his army uses to scare the enemy into surrender. Of Kieu, an ancient heroine of many faces who shows up in the strangest of places.
Back among his fellow soldiers, Nathan befriends Reece who works in "psychological operations" and takes in an orphan boy named Tia. And Ben Yazzie, a native man and jokester who walks point for his platoon. And gentle Doc, a medic, who will not go home to see his new child.
The deaths of fellow soldiers and the suffering of the local people deeply trouble Nathan. Finally he is witness to the destruction of a village and a brutal attack on his base. How much more can he endure? He feels powerless, what can he do?
He calls to the "wandering souls."

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
