Mekong Mayhem
(2020)(The tenth book in the Heroes of Vietnam series)
A Novella by Todd McLeod and Eric Meyer
The Mekong Delta, south of Saigon, and area of rice paddies, fertile fields, waterways, and – Vietcong. Despite the setbacks of the Tet Offensive, costing the lives of thousands of Communist fighters, the Mekong is high on the list of enemy priorities.
MACV Intelligence analyses show the strategic city of Can Tho as the next Vietcong target, and reconnaissance flights show the enemy is encircling the city ready to attack in strength. The generals send in 7th air Cavalry to interdict the VCs, and Joe Walker’s Third Platoon is amongst the first Hueys to touch down. Guided by a Vietnamese ‘Kit Carson Scout,’ a former VC who defected to the Saigon regime, they run into a heavy concentration of anti-aircraft fire. Men and machines are lost to a barrage of intense enemy fire, and the operation is heading for catastrophe.
Lieutenant Richard Early, the former movie star who leads Third Platoon, is still unable to believe real life is somehow different to Tinsel Town. Even though other men are relying on them for support he is reluctant to press on with the mission. Private Joe Walker and his buddy Bo Buck have other ideas. And retreat is not one of them. The question is how to handle Lieutenant Early. And the Kit Carson Scout, who is not all he appears to be.
