Twice Bitten: Black File Chronicles Book I — Bill E. Goble

Black File Chronicles is a series of books written about the experiences of a young Green Beret Sergeant who was a member of a team that commanded a secret mercenary army established under the cloak of the CIA. The backdrop for the series is the Vietnam War, but the war is secondary to the underlying story. The many twists and turns in the double life led by Chief, the main character, will keep the reader guessing as to what comes next. The intrigue of his clever manipulation of his benefactors and the lavish lifestyle he established in the city as he falls in love with a beautiful girl will melt the heart of any romantic. You will feel the emotional agony and fear of the young couple as they transition between the hell of a raging battle zone and their opulent life in the city. This story carries you through the horror of war and its terrible consequences. As the story unfolds you will experience the transformation of a young man to a battle hardened warrior, who despite overwhelming odds, always finds his way back to the love that he treasures more than his own life. You will experience the emotional highs and bottomless lows of a young man whose body survived but in the end perhaps his soul did not.
