Haunted by the ghosts of San Francisco's Summer of Love and the blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty he left behind, Clyde Thomas reenlists in the army and goes back to Vietnam as part of the 716th Military Police in Saigon. He arrives back a month before the Tet Offensive, hoping to clear the demons from his soul. But as the Tet Offensive explodes and Saigon crumbles into fiery chaos, he discovers a different kind of darkness—a war spiraling out of control, staining the soul of a nation. Drawn into Saigon's intoxicating underbelly, haunted by visions of Moonbeam and a new, forbidden love with a dark-haired Asian beauty, his quest for redemption becomes a desperate race for survival, both physical and spiritual. A striking and deeply thought-provoking novel capturing the politics and stark reality of war, in a place no one in America really cared about. Fought by the unwilling--led by the incompetent--for the ungrateful. Hard Rain, like Summer of Love 1967, captures a period in Americas dark history for future generations to read.
