Goodreads asked Ed Marohn:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Ed Marohn I served in Vietnam as a captain, commanding a combat unit of 110 personnel with the 101st Airborne Division. My experience on those killing fields set the stage for the plot line of my main character, psychologist John Moore, as he deals with his war demons, over 30 years after the war ended. The actual writing of my novel started in 2009 after I travelled to Hanoi, Vietnam, with my wife to explore the outcome of the war's end in 1975. The melding of the past war to modern day Vietnam is cathartic for Moore as he must deal with his former enemies in peacetime.
