Review of Deadly Waters: The Vietnam Naval War And Its Aftermath
Zack Martin, a teenager, enthusiastically joined the Navy and traveled to Vietnam due to his patriotism. He leaves behind his loving family and his sweetheart, Tally. Zack, just like many other people, endures harsh conditions, horrific wartime scenes, and the agonizing separation from loved ones. Loyalty leads him and his comrades to serve, even as Agent Orange is introduced. In the midst of the war, Zack developed friendships with Howell, Mueller, and Kearns. They work together as patriotic Navy officers, hoping for a quick end to the war.
Upon returning home, Zack struggles to heal from the war's trauma, but the unwavering love of Tally and his family eases his journey. His love for Tally deepens with each passing moment, culminating in their marriage. However, a hidden danger lurks. The full impact of Agent Orange exposure unfolds long after the war, a harsh truth revealed far too late.
Randy Miller masterfully brings his characters to life. While the initial use of accents presented a challenge, once I adjusted, the story transported me to a place of deep connection with the characters. The unwavering love and support between Zack and Tally is truly touching. It's remarkable how Randy Miller manages to weave love and friendship into this war story. Randy's way of painting a picture with words is incredible and truly magical. My favorite line? "He was slow to anger, slow to cool, and right now, he was hot."
My only minor critique is the lack of a table of contents. However, this didn't diminish my overall enjoyment. Deadly Waters: The Vietnam Naval War and Its Aftermath is a powerful and moving story that deserves 5 out of 5 stars. The plot is gripping, the characters are unforgettable, and their interactions feel all too real. This well-written historical fiction, free of grammatical errors, is perfect for anyone seeking a captivating story about the Vietnam War. This book contains graphic descriptions of war violence and is intended for mature readers.
