About this ebook

It is 1968. The place is Indochina.
Stacey Mckenna is no ordinary pilot. She flies the lethal skies of Laos and Cambodia in unarmed airplanes and helicopters. She is eighteen years old... an age when most of her contemporaries are still in senior high school, or are freshmen at college.
She flies for Air America... the CIA's clandestine air force; flying missions that would make most pilots pale at the very thought. She is the living embodiment of the Air America slogan:
"Anything, Anywhere, Anytime... Professionally."
The occupation of pilot is forbidden to U.S. Military women during the Vietnam War...but Stacey Mckenna is not a U.S. Military woman. She belongs to "The Company"... the CIA.
Her ground chief has given her two Franklin Half-Dollars on a dog-tag chain as her lucky mascot, with which she can "Pay The Ferryman" if, one day, her luck finally runs out and she can't dodge the "Golden B-B"... the one in a million shot that has her name on it.

I'm Dave. I am writing my seventh novel at present; it will also be available as a series of novellas... working on the principle that these days, readers prefer something that is quick to read... say, during a bus journey or whatever.It is the latest in an ongoing series based on my original Fantasy Trilogy "The EternalWatchtower."The trilogy has been likened to a "Tolkien on Steroids"... but is not populated with Elves and other assorted pointy-eared characters, and traces the chronicled history of a lost race, and their struggles against an overwhelming evil which threatens to destroy their very existence.It started out as a favour for a friend: (Can you do a fairy tale for the kids)... but eventually topped 400,000 words... hence the transition into a trilogy.I was born in Gloucestershire and have lived in the county all my life. I grew up surrounded by the myths and legends of "What there might be in the woods"... "What were the things that went "Bump" in the night?"... "Was that really a screech Owl ... or something else?" This proved very useful when it came to writing the first book of the Fantasy Trilogy!The son of a Country Blacksmith; I became a Police Officer, and later joined an International Aerospace Company, employed as an Avionics Quality Inspector.I hope you enjoy the trilogy and its sequels as much as I enjoy writing them.

    I flew helicopters in Laos for Air America from 1970 to 1973. The premise of this piece of garbage is ludicrous on its face. What a piece of junk.
