'I had to do it. Had I not made the decision to face it head-on and write about it, I would have surely found my way into hell by my own unrelenting hand,' says author R. H. Doty.John Robin was the best man for the job, otherwise, why would the Secretary of the Army personally attend to the matter of having the ex-Green Beret pardoned and released from Leavenworth Federal Prison and returned to Vietnam? Robin accomplishes the clandestine mission targeting the American traitor, Luther, but not without great personal cost. The aftereffects of horror are never without cost. Yet, strangely, when one finds the courage to regress and weigh the reasons for the deed, a wonderful, rewarding glimmer of something joyous can and sometimes does appear unexpectedly among the folds. And so it happens with John Robin.The nightmares didn't begin until some 10 years after the war ended. The multifaceted Robin blends elements of his past in detailed character study together with his present quest to find Luther's parents hoping for solace and forgiveness. Emotional foundations intermingled with romance, drama and intrigue, bridge the culmination of events, revealing a surprising impact on Robin's ability to forgive himself.
