Turn of the Cards by George R. R. Martin
Nothing has happened since the end of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam to cause me to amend those views.
This book is not an expression of nostalgia for the war I missed; I’m glad I missed it. It is not a working-out of some weird national angst over the War. It isn’t a “Vietnam War book.” It’s a thriller — I hope, anyway — and a WILD CARDS novel. It’s set in 1991, not 1967. I hope people will approach it on its own terms.
