Forgotten Brother

By Clair Miller

Carlee Taylor was a quintessential California blond. Less quintessential was the fact she was married, but that didnt bother brash young Colby Hanson as he prepared to leave for Viet Nam as a fighter pilot. His infidelity with her provides the impulse for her husbands relentless quest for revenge as he rises from local politician to U.S. Senator and uses bribery and attempted murder to conceal Colbys existence in a P.O.W. camp after the young pilots plane has been shot down by the North Vietnamese Army.Forgotten Brother takes place as the Viet Nam war is winding down and the government is looking for ways to extricate America from the quagmire of an unpopular and unwinnable war. Against this fascinating historical background, U.S. Senator Brian Taylor uses his office to deny the existence of the American P.O.W.s left behind and to gain his final revenge on Colby Hanson, imprisoned in an isolated prison camp in Laos.Clair Millers fast paced novel brings to light the plight of those pilots and soldiers left behind without ever having a full account of their plight given to the American people, let alone to their own relatives after the war.More than 1,000 M.I.A.s or P.O.W.s from the North Vietnamese theater are still unaccounted for. Only 9 of the 565 missing in Laos have been released. 76 of those taken in Cambodia are still listed as missing.Although Forgotten Brothers Colby Hanson is a fictional hero, he is a real person still to many of these P.O.W. families.
