Abstract:
Is the late 60s and America's military campaign in Vietnam is going terribly wrong. For the chopper pilots of Landing Zone Sharon, the war isn't just wrong, it's insane. The real leader of LZ Sharon is WO3 Rick Nichols, a renegade pilot on his third tour. When their cuckoo commander, Major Ball, "walks home" through a minefield, Nichols takes command. He fights the war his way, unorthodox but effective. Major Ball's buddy, Colonel Snipper, unexpectedly arrives. When he can't find Major Ball, Snipper suspects foul play and starts an investigation. How does the story end? Read the novel.
