Volunteer: A Vietnam War Odyssey

by Bob Stockton

Overview

Eighteen-year old Zack Martin is determined to leave his Lubbock home where he has endured ridicule and scorn from his abusive father. His mother's recent death has given Zack the push to join the Navy where he is certain that he will find adventure - and test his courage by volunteering to serve in ships that will be sent into harm's way in the emerging Vietnam conflict.
Author Bob Stockton has revised and consolidated his three earlier Vietnam War novellas - Mediterranean Suicide, Friendly Fire and The Third Tour into "Volunteer," a re-written and re-formatted hard-hitting, fast-paced novel that places the reader directly in the heart of the action.
