Quiet, independent, and deadly, Johnny Able is a Marine sniper willing to stop for nothing and no one-- even with a target on his back and a secret that could end it all--as he faces his one hundredth kill of the Vietnam War in this gripping military novel. Nicknamed Dog for his almost superhuman ability to sniff out his prey, Johnny Able, a single-minded kid from Muskogee, is a certified legend fighting in Vietnam during a war that produces few legends. With a bounty on his head and not a fiber of fear in his body, Johnny commands terror from the enemy and awe from the men fighting beside him. As quiet as he is deadly, Johnny is concealing a shattering secret that only war can tear from a man's soul... a secret so explosive it may make his one hundredth kill the deadliest of all. Told with a distinguished military historian's attention to authenticity and the dramatic imagination of a storyteller, Charles W. Sasser does it again with this riveting war novel offering a fascinating, rarely-glimpsed side of the Vietnam war that is "tough, raunchy, gritty, and surprisingly tender" (Military History Magazine).
