Riassunto

Private Tommy Trang is the best marine imaginable; he's smart, daring, physically fit, and patriotic to the core. California surfer Cody "Cowboy" Carmichael acts as his
co-conspirator and Boswell during the Gulf War as the two AWOL marines sneak through the Iraqi lines to rescue the sixteen-year-old Princess Lulu, who has captured Trang's heart. In an adventure filled with humor and heroism, mellow Carmichael gets to know the fervent heart of Tommy Trang--and what it means to be a true patriot.
In his first novel, award-winning author Tom Paine has created an enthralling, joyful, and picaresque tale of love and war.
