McAlister's Siege
language
(Ocean Reeve Publishing April 30, 2019)
What happens when a Vietnam War veteran chopper pilot puts pen to paper after retirement? Imagine the adventures and escapes a young RAAF pilot could get up to in war-torn Southeast Asia and New Guinea. Just think of a volatile cocktail including the late Robin William’s "Good Morning Vietnam", Mel Gibson and Robert Downey jnr’s "Air America", Eagle comics "Luck of the Legion" and "Apocalypse Now", injected with Richard Marman’s own experience serving with the RAAF in Vietnam and New Guinea - and the result is The McAlister Line!
So travel back to a time in quite recent history when so many young people were thrust into conflicts of the politicians’ making just as they are today. And like young men and women everywhere, when put into extraordinary circumstances, the adventures and escapes too, are extraordinary.
As an ex-military chopper and heavy transport pilot who has visited many of the locations forming The McAlister Line backdrops, Marman knows what he is talking about.
Aimed especially at the YA audience.......Danny McAlister and Mad Monty are on the run once more. They find themselves working for General Claire Chennault’s China Air Transport only to be dragged into the last throes of the Chinese Civil War and then onto Korea where Danny learns first-hand the horrors of battle. But far worse is yet to come.
After the Korean cease-fire, General Chennault assigns Danny to Vietnam where he rejoins his old flame, med-student, Angela Holyman. Unwittingly Danny and Angela are thrown into the desperate, bloody climax of the siege at Dien Bien Phu.
