The true, untold story of the real beginning of the Vietnam War…
In 1945, OSS sniper René Granier parachutes into the misty mountains of Indochina with his elite Deer Team. Their mission: ally with Ho Chi Minh’s guerrillas against the Japanese.
Side by side, they fight. Some die. Trust forms in the crucible of war.
As the war winds down, old powers move to reclaim their colonies. Promises are broken.
Branded a spy without a chance to defend himself, Granier finds himself betrayed by the very warriors who once called him brother.
Now he stands at the crossroads of history with one bullet to rewrite the first chapter of America’s longest war.
The first casualty of war is truth. The last is trust.
Perfect for fans of John J. Gobbell, W.E.B. Griffin, and Tom Clancy who crave authentic military action with complex, battle-scarred heroes fighting both external enemies and their own inner demons.
