It's Vietnam, 1969. After a Vietcong ambush, Navy SEAL MEL STONE recovers from a prolonged coma in a Montagnard village with no memory and an aging process that ended at age twenty-two. Decades latter as his memory returns bit-by-bit, he realizes he has developed a miraculous medical condition. What some consider a blessing becomes a living hell when powerful men hunt him across four continents to tear the secret from Mel, dead or alive. He evolves from a SEAL's aggressive militancy, to Buddhist pacifism, to POW despair, to the terror of a fugitive-until he reverts to being a warrior--protecting the love of his life. Fast paced, with intrigue, romance, and action, yet lightened by flippant dialogue in the face of peril, Hell's Blessing describes the price paid by egos attempting to tamper with Mother Nature
