Landon's odyssey

J. A. Gasperetti

Book - 2010

Gil Landon, a returning Vietnam soldier, has a pervasive feeling of angst. His love is gone, his graduate studies interrupted, his prospects for a job are bleak, and his treatment for a war wound mediocre. Landon begins a journey to find some relief by seeking his past to improve his future. His voyage of discovery is prompted by the uncovering of six letters, which he inexplicably finds in a shipping crate he sent back to himself from Vietnam. The letters belong to six wartime buddies who he plans to visit and belatedly deliver their respective letters.
