mystic dancer

By F. G. Rist

The daughter of an Air Force pilot tracks down an elderly priest to learn the story her father will not tell her. The story of the only surviving priest from the secret war in Laos and now in hiding, the pilot, the brutal drug lord Khun Rhah and the Hmong mountain people who fought America's war, rescued downed American pilots, were caught in the struggle between powerful drug lords and the greed of those in power and suffered greatly when finally abandoned by the Americans. Set against the background of the US involvement in Southeast Asia, Mystic Dancer spans a generation of time and takes us through the flood of violence, betrayal, insanity, drugs and the friendship of people who need each other to survive and to prevent tragedy for those who befriended America.
