The book is reminiscent of war films and it has a certain cinematic feel to it. The story alone is engaging, but the character development is masterfully done that you end up being heavily invested in the characters and every move they make creates an impact. Such combination draws you in and keeps you captivated. The author takes us back to the horrors of the Vietnam War, vividly imagined with poignancy and grit. There’s just something compelling about a story that is set against the backdrop of war. But the plan isn’t exactly without its dire consequences. Then Austin meets a young exotic woman who surprisingly has a plan to keep him alive.

After surviving a violent attack in the jungle, Austin knows that he has to escape, or he’ll never see the light of day again. This practically leaves Austin stuck in Saigon and with nowhere to go. In ‘The Girl From Hanoi’, Airman Austin Mars is coerced by a devious colonel to fly illicit cargo.
