Interesting characters, cross country Amtrak ride and thrilling suspense sounds like the makings for an excellent book. Thanks for your great review.

The past war life could be harder than the war itself. It is a good review.

excellent review! If you lived threw the Vietnam War, you can try and do it again! It was a terrible time in our lives. A lot of our boys brought back drugs because they were hocked on them!! I’d like to give it a try.

This book seems to portray military investigations, marijuana, mental instability, and post-war damages. This novel is not for children. Thanks for the review.

I wouldn't want to be in Declan's shoes to be honest, but this is my kind of story! Thanks for a very detailed and insightful review.

Wellllll. I'm thinking which is better between this review and the book. I love your diction and how you put your feelings to words; especially here 'His tone has both a brute hardness and a smooth flow of warmth in word usage.' Lol. Your review style is as captivating as this novel, or at least almost as captivating.
I would very much like to read this book.
Live and let live, baby.

I like the plot of this story because it seems like the story of a real Vietnam veteran trying to fond himself or herself. I like that the author uses the plot line of drug smuggling which just started to become the booming empire that it is today. The questions that you put forth in your review make me eager to read this book.

When I saw the title of the book I thought, "this is either really good or really bad." I'm very happily surprised with the plot. I recently read a book about the war in Afghanistan and it was so interesting reading about the war field (although a bit gruesome sometimes) and the scars left behind. This is definitely a book I'm interested in.

Sounds a lot like a Jack Reacher novel if Reacher were a drug dealer. I'll give the first few chapters a chance to see if I get sucked in. Thanks for your review.

It sounds like the author addresses the issue of post-war vet trauma well.The graphic nature might be a bit much for me, but I enjoyed your review. Thank you.
