In the early 1960's the Military knew they needed to develop a new method of intelligence gathering in locating the enemy in the jungles of Vietnam. Early attempts at developing a mobile method of interception and location of radio transmissions failed. Some successes occurred prior to the mid-1960's, but there was no large scale plan on how to develop this into a major project to help win the war in Vietnam. Approval comes in 1966 and the project is named Phyllis Ann. The author becomes a part of this project as a mission leader in the winter of 1968. This novel is based on his experiences both in Pleiku Vietnam and Misawa Japan during some of the most turbulent times in our history. The taking of the Pueblo, Russian bombers testing our defenses, and the secret war in Laos were all historical events this young airman was involved in.

It is 1970 as Rick drowns his sorrows while mourning the loss of his wife, Masako. After he hears Masako's encouraging voice in a dream and decides to turn his life around, Rick returns to the States, eventually reenlists, and is led back to Japan. When his tour ends, he is sent to the war zone in Ubon, Thailand, where he reunites with his old squadron and flies dangerous missions into Laos, even after the peace treaty is signed. But when Rick is involved in a mystery in Laos after the war is supposedly over, he has no idea it will be years before he must decide whether to talk about it or take the truth to his grave. In this novel based on true events, a Vietnam veteran travels back in time and reflects on a decades-old mystery with the hope of finding peace.
