In Green Sleep: A Tour of Duty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781462002443)

It is the late 1960s. Cold war tensions and the Vietnam conflict dominate the media. John Bluderin, a drafted, dejected nineteen-year-old army specialist, has been assigned to military intelligence in Germany. Fluent in German and absorbed into the social fabric of Schw臙isch Gm?d, no one would ever suspect him of doing anything out of the ordinary. Specialist Bluderin is about to prove everyone wrong.

As John begins his first assignment, he meets Leda Beschwung, a petite, dedicated agent able to jump twenty yards at a clip and infiltrate the enemy seamlessly. Leda, a practitioner of Gestalt psychology, makes Bluderin feel worthy again and becomes the catalyst in his coming-of-age journey, changing his life forever. Under Leda's diligent mentoring, Bluderin's perception of human nature sharpens. He soon encounters G?ter Mann, a clairvoyant shepherd whose advice leads him to a Norwegian goddess. Solveig Evensen introduces him to a new world of emotional, intellectual, and erotic passion where both learn to transcend their past barriers. But it is Bluderin's final assignment that places his life on the edge of death.

In Green Sleep is a compelling tale of one man's philosophical voyage to seek and understand the truth in a world riddled with deception.
