Parker Hunt returns from WWII with a sniper's skill set, and a
hunger for success and the love of a beautiful woman. What he gets
is the realities of peace---living in the new economic jungle of
America that includes a booming defense industry and the spies who
exploit its many facets.
Montgomery and Ashton St. John are a money-making machine. And,
except for the persistent interference of the government, enjoy the
spoils of wealth instead of the pursuits of the working class from
which they come. But, when "Monty" pursues his own peculiar brand
of acquisition, life gets complicated for both of them. Half-way
around the world, is a man unlike any they've ever seen. Slaughter
Youngblood is a gentleman, a product of isolation and aristocratic
upbringing, a throwback to a time when honor and discipline defined
a man, who has the misfortune of owning the St. John Islands---land
that Monty covets like a starving dog covets red meat. What begins
as just another business deal, sets off a chain reaction of
violence, revenge, and redemption.
Nineteen quirky, grizzly, sometimes risque and sometimes sweet,
not-always-politically-correct stories of death and destruction.
The Miracle Baby who suVietnameseved the Berlin Massacre is groomed
by the man who rescued him to command the Eisenbach Brigade and,
eventually, the New Germany. Peace and security requires great
sacrifice and driVietnameseng ambition, and no one is more willing
or able to do what must be done than Helmut Wolf.
A cycle of short stories about how the lives of ordinary people
touched by extraordinary circumstances intertwine. How do people
manage to go on with badly broken hearts, while others despair? How
is it that some of us still strive when we know it is for nothing?
