Seller's Description:
Tim Bradstreet (Jacket art) Very good in Very good jacket. [4], 182, [6] pages. Chris Lynch (born July 2, 1962) is an American writer. His works include Inexcusable, a finalist for the U.S. National Book Award for Young People's Literature, and Iceman, "The Right Fight", Shadow Boxer, Gold Dust, and Slot Machine, all ALA Best Books for Young Adults; Freewill was also a runner-up for the Michael L. Printz Award. His short story "The Pellet in the paint can" has been included in the collection Guys Write for Guys Read. and "Arrangements" was included in No Such Thing as the Real World. Lynch was born in Boston where he graduated from Emerson College and teaches Creative Writing at Lesley University as of 2011. When Beck's three best friends go to war in Vietnam, Beck knows that he must honor his promise to go with them. Derived from a Kirkus review: Lynch's Vietnam War series concludes with the final narrative of four friends caught in the chaos of war. Morris, Ivan and Rudi have told their stories; it's Beck's turn. Beck, now in the Air Force, was always the smart one, the one bound for college. Upon discovering Beck's plan to enlist, his father had said, "The universe has better plans for you." And in Vietnam, Beck is, literally, above it all, as he watches the war from on high in his C-123 aircraft, his goal somehow to not kill anyone as he defoliates forests with Agent Orange. He finds the countryside gorgeous and rues the "danger and destruction in all its variety and in every direction." Beck's hope is that when the friends get back together, no matter what else has happened, "the universe will tilt back where it belongs." Much of the narrative concerns all four players and how to plan and accomplish the requisite reunion. When it does occur, it brings disastrous results and an abrupt ending to the series. An excellent war saga that will leave readers feeling they have been through something monumental.
