"When Can I Stop Running?" is the forerunner to this book.

Only a couple of hours had passed since returning to the firebase. Now, the sleep-deprived and weary First Platoon soldiers must go back out on another patrol to search through two areas of hostility from the night before. A thorough search may reveal items that were overlooked in the dark.

It was thought to be an easy patrol – two klicks out and two klicks back, count the dead bodies, and then return by lunch. At least, that was the plan.
The soldiers soon found themselves surrounded and in serious danger, all because their battalion commander's thirst for body counts and fame drove them to take unnecessary risks. Outgunned and alone. Will they all survive? Get your copy to find out.
Sixpack, Polack, LG, and the bunch are back in this new installment from the award-winning author of "Cherries: A Vietnam War Novel."
