DEATH IN THE TRIANGLE is a sequel to "When Can I Stop Running?". Only a couple of hours passed since returning to the firebase. Now, the sleep-deprived and weary First Platoon soldiers must go out on another patrol. Last night, an enemy mortar team fired several rounds into the base and was soon silenced by return artillery fire. The Third Squad also ambushed a group of enemy soldiers, leaving nine dead bodies on the trail before moving out to a new location. A thorough search of both areas may locate items overlooked in the dark. It was considered an easy patrol – two klicks out and two klicks back, so the brass expected their return before lunch. At least, that was the plan. Many patrols during the Vietnam War did not go as planned. These soldiers soon found themselves in dire straits to satisfy their battalion commander's thirst for body counts and fame. Will they all survive? Sixpack, Polack, LG, and the bunch are back in this new installment from the award-winning author of "Cherries: A Vietnam War Novel." EDITORIAL REVIEWS: "Wow... what an awesome read! Once I started reading, I was a captive and couldn't put it down as I was so anxious to see what happened next. It is a professionally written story that brought back many memories of my time in Vietnam. John nailed it!" Joe Fair, author of "Call Sign Dracula: My Tour with the Black Scarves." "When reading Death in the Triangle, I could see all the faces, the sweaty jungle, hear all the mind-numbing yet terrifying sounds, smell all the wretched odors, and feel the deepest fears. You said it was fiction. It's too real to be that. Too honest to be that. A great sequel to When Can I Stop Running?" R Scott Ormond, author of "Shadow Soldier: Kilo Eleven." "Once the soldiers set out on patrol, the action is nonstop. Podlaski puts the reader in the thick of the danger and action in this short story! It truly gives an outsider a better understanding of the Vietnam War." Yvette M Calleiro, author of "The Chronicles of the Diasodz." "In 'Death in the Triangle,' John Podlaski weaves another excellent tale of a small infantry unit fighting in the lethal cauldron of Vietnam's Iron Triangle. Follow Polack, Sixpack, Doc, and other members of the 1st Platoon as they execute their demanding missions. Highly recommended!" Joe Campolo Jr, author of "The Kansas NCO trilogy" and "On War, Fishing & Philosophy." "Death in the Triangle reveals a richly detailed universe in exquisite detail, just as I remember it, with its sights, sounds, and smells. This story begins where "When Can I Stop Running" left off. The author is a great storyteller, and readers will witness the physical and mental hardships these young men overcame in completing the mission. Highly recommended. Christopher Gaynor, author of "A Soldier Boy Hears the Distant Guns". His work also includes a feature story and photos in "Time Magazine." "In Death In The Triangle, John Podlaski's third intriguing story about the Vietnam War, John pulls you into the real experience of combat soldiers with his seat of the pants, painstakingly frank, truthful account of what real combat was like for our warriors. John, a decorated veteran of that war, tells the story of a group of veterans' daily trials and tribulations, as only a person who has 'done that/been there' could. You'll cringe, weep, laugh, shudder, and feel this whole story like you were there, not wanting to set it down." Jerry Kunnath, outdoor writer Member of the Michigan Outdoor Writers Association
