When a misleading story hits stateside papers that Mac was a "mercenary" grunt hired by the Army, the senior brass decides he needs to get U.S. citizenship. In this second Vietnam novel, Mac, a Canadian volunteer, is sent to Hawaii. During his 10 days there, he continues to get into trouble, makes new friends, scores with the ladies, shoots a troublemaker''s surfboard, and refurbishes WWII rifles to be used by snipers in Vietnam.Back in-country with a renovated .30-.06 Smith Corona rifle, Mac rejoins the Ranger unit where he feels at home.They spend their days and nights trail watching, gathering intel, snatching prisoners, saving other grunts, and killing an NVA general...all with deadly seriousness and loyalty to each other and to the Army they serve.Their hard work pays off and they are given R & R where Mac demonstrates his amazing abilities in a lying contest.In A Salt the author gives us a smile or a laugh, then slams us with a scene so realistic and shocking that we see...through the eyes of an Infantryman...a very different perspective on the Vietnam War.Other titles published by this author include:Minnow Lake Here piggy...Dinky DauRosebud Diane...Coming Soon
