Book excerpt: No Direction Home is a dramatic action adventure inspired by a true story. An all-American Indian boy leaves the backwoods of the Smokey Mountains and moves with his family to Southern California. Maturing into a gifted athlete and a musician, he runs afoul of his traditional fathers values. Joining the marine corps, he goes to Vietnam, thriving in an environment of killing fields. Severely wounded, he returns to SoCal after two combat tours. The marine corps reassigns him as a weapons instructor in Quantico, Virginia. The CIA recruits him for a clandestine operation in Mexico. He assassinates some bad guys then remains undercover to gather data on the escalating drug war. Organizing flights of tons of marijuana and documenting the web of conspiracies, he amasses a fortune but is eventually betrayed by his CIA contacts. Moving through Columbia, Mexico, and the western United States, he eludes capture and survives against fearsome odds.
