Colonel Simon Njonjo, a rebel soldier who is loyal to the ousted former president of Zimbabwe, has mounted a brutal attack on Harare Station, a CIA outpost. The bloody assault leaves many station personnel dead and three missing, including Mike Shocklee. No sign of them can be found in Zimbabwe; no ransom is requested, and it's suspected the men have been taken into Mozambique for political purposes. It also is suspected that they will be mistreated, and quite probably tortured or killed. But the CIA's hands are tied when the American president makes it clear that norescue teams are to search across the border in Mozambique; the unstable political situation there makes the CIA employees expendable.

These poems, for the most part, depict the time I served with the 1st Marine Division in the I Corps Sector of South Vietnam; from its triple canopies in the Annamese Cordillera to the sun-bleached savannahs that stretched and spilled-out into the South China Sea. I was nineteen years old*.

Winner of a Royal Palm Literary Award from the Florida Writers Association, this historical novel, Blue Water, Red Blood, traces events leading to the development of the LVT amphibious vehicle and the Marine amphibious warfare tactics used in World War II. Blue Water, Red Blood, a near history novel, tells the true story of the men who made plans and dreams reality. It uses the actual events and characters with dialogue and some added story to illustrate history's impacts on those involved.

A flash-back of a veteran of the Tarawa landings starts and ends the story to illustrate the critical nature of the vehicle. Historical events start with Holland Smith's serving on Pershing's staff and are relived over a 22 year period. The real life characters' fictional encounters let the reader experience their thoughts, emotions, and frustrations as these men struggle against multiple obstacles to save thousands of lives in the battles against Japan. Two very different men with very different motives have the major a part in the development and adoption of the LVT, the vehicle which made the invasions of the Pacific islands possible. The lives of Donald Roebling, inventor of the vehicle he designed as a hurricane rescue device, and General Holland Smith, father of modern amphibious warfare, are welded together as they fight Navy skepticism and government bureaucracy to prevent the slaughter of troops making the most dangerous of all military maneuvers, a landing on a fortified enemy beach.
