Mike is not happy sitting on an isolated Army firebase in the waning days of the Vietnam War. His guard duty is shattered one night when a stranger crawls unhurt through the protective barbed wire and surrounding minefield to throw the firebase into confusion and conflict.
Who is this stranger named Daniel? Why is he already listed as buried at Arlington National Cemetery? Will the stranger Daniel help the soldiers on the firebase survive the looming onslaught from a vicious enemy battalion? Or will he inflame the tempers of sullen and rebellious draftees who are looking for any reason to mutiny?
The mystery of Daniel is the same one we all face: how do we make sense of things we don't understand? Is it a sign of good or is it evil?
See if you can solve the mystery of Daniel...

If you like Dan Brown and Michael Crichton's style of historical/mystery/supernatural well researched and fact-checked kind of writing, you'll like Keith Yocum's "Daniel", a novel set on the last functional firebase at the end of the Viet Nam war - Amazon Customer
I made the mistake of picking it up "for a few minutes" with about a third remaining unread one night when I was having difficulty sleeping at 2AM, and finished it at 6AM because I had to see if the author could resolve the mystery. He did, I wasn't disappointed, and you won't be either - Amazon Customer
This book was on my "recommended" list for a long time. Finally, for $2.99 who could resist. I can honestly say this is one of the best books I have ever read, and I have been reading voraciously for over sixty years - Deb's Guy, Amazon Customer
Haunting and intense, this book will stay with me for a long time - Resident Alien, Amazon Customer
I'm not a Viet Nam vet, but I am an Iraq vet, and this work does a great job of depicting the chaos and confusion of armed conflict to my standards - R.D., Amazon Customer
I missed the fact that it is a true story. I just thought it was a well done novel based on the thoughts of a creative writer. I was pleased with the story and amazed that it was true. It is fascinating - Robert, Amazon Customer
