Too bad about Angus....

Not until the end of the book was it clear that the teller of the story wasn't the protagonist. In a great twist, the ending suddenly made me see what was going on. It's an interesting experience--I read along for pretty much the whole book thinking one thing, then in the last couple pages had to re-order all my thoughts about what went on. So what was it? Angus "Bull" has the ability to make everyone agree: everyone agrees that he's a prick. [Apologies to Joseph Heller.] But *why* is he so nettelsome? He'll do anything to prove that he's worthy of his father's admiration. Problem is that he's an illegitimate son of a flag officer whose legitimate son finished the Naval Academy. Poor Angus....The book's great! Wish I could write that well.

I have never read a book even remotely like this one!

Randy Crew very skillfully sets the stage for the final climax to be a real surprise. The reader knows and senses that he is being set up for something BIG. And, sure enough, in the final pages the reader is swept away by rotorwash as the true purpose of the many strange characters you have been reading about all along, is played out to the masterful finish. As a helicopter pilot in RVN, I too had such a dream. Tom Payne RVN 66-67, Bandit32@gorilla.net
