About the Book

A young man's mother dies and he's forsaken by his girlfriend, but he holds onto his pride and volunteers to go to war. It's in Viet Nam that he's injured so badly that after healing he becomes tormented by a gift. To see the spirits of those who've died doesn't reveal the identity of those who are demons. Evil brings death driving down the road in the guise of a beautiful lady, a biker on a chopper, and a pig who likes to dress like a woman. There's a rich man whose love for money brings him lust for murder, and it's the Devil himself that pulls the puppet strings. But there's also the ghost of an old man who has a trick up his sleeve, an odd way of talking, and the desire to overcome evil as great as his love is for his country and an angel of God. The sequel to “the Long Watch,” it's in `the Slumber' that a soldier can find sanctuary from pain and madness, and where the destitute spirit of Love can find peace. Now and then all it takes is a pretty face to mask the darkness and its evil. Sometimes it takes more than the spirit of a nation's heroes, seasoned at the game of combat, to defy the laws of nature and to return sanity to a wounded veteran.
