Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Skillfully blending his fictional hero's coming-of-age story with a real-life racial confrontation aboard ship, Carter's tale is a winning combination of military procedural, suspense, and Black history." -Booklist, Starred Review "Taking its title from a nautical term for a conundrum, the… novel is a coming-of-age and redemption story about two young Black men going through boot camp, training school and their first assignments in an early 1970s Navy struggling with racism and sexism." -The Oregonian The Vietnam War is raging, the US Navy has only recently begun the process of integration, and the country is reeling from racial turmoil and unrest. So why does Cesar, a street-tough kid of Afro-Cuban descent, enlist in the navy? He is on the run from a life of crime and from Mr. Mike, a charismatic, sociopathic gangster who was once a mentor but has now turned on him. Escaping into a navy wrestling with its history of racism and sexism, Cesar soon sees the absurdity of certain prejudices that seem as old as the US Armed Forces. When he is deployed aboard the USS Kitty Hawk, racial tensions are high and are moving quickly toward violence. Through it all, Cesar's ever-growing sense of honor and self-worth force him to make moral decisions he never knew he was capable of. It's a fortitude he will desperately need. In the early 1970s, Cesar Alvarez enlists in the navy to escape a life of crime; while the decision saves him from the streets, it also lands him amid volatile racial tensions at a crucial moment in US history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. 336 pages. Frontis illustration. The novel is a transcendent redemption story set amid the racism and social turmoil of the early 1970s. André Lewis Carter is a retired navy veteran who writes fiction, essays, and plays in the urban sprawl of Portland, Oregon. He is a freelance editor, voi…ce actor, and a reader for Hippocampus Magazine & Books. His short stories have appeared in Soft Cartel, Page and Spine, and Down in the Dirt magazines. His poetry appeared in The Journal of Graduate Liberal Studies. Carter's one-act play, Reaction, was staged at the Last Frontier Theatre Conference in Valdez, Alaska. He holds an MA in fiction writing and an MFA in creative writing from Wilkes University, where he was a Beverly Blakeslee Hiscox Scholar. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is his debut novel. The Vietnam War is raging, the US Navy has only recently begun the process of integration, and the country is reeling from racial turmoil and unrest. So why does César, a street-tough kid of Afro-Cuban descent, enlist in the navy? He is on the run from a life of crime and from Mr. Mike, a charismatic, sociopathic gangster who was once a mentor but has now turned on him. Escaping into a navy wrestling with its history of racism and sexism, César soon sees the absurdity of certain prejudices that seem as old as the US Armed Forces. When he is deployed aboard the USS Kitty Hawk, racial tensions are high and are moving quickly toward violence. Through it all, César's ever-growing sense of honor and self-worth force him to make moral decisions he never knew he was capable of. It's a fortitude he will desperately need. Derived from a Kirkus review: Which is more challenging, coming of age in the Navy or on the crime-ridden streets? November 1971. Orlando teenager César Alvarez succumbs to the hard sell of a gritty petty officer named Segar and joins the Navy. The Afro-Cuban César is hopeful of making a new life off the streets, where he works for the villainous Mr. Mike, a coldblooded killer and drug dealer who regularly calls him the N-word. The Navy is a whole new eye-opening world for César, who nevertheless can't shake the fear that Mr. Mike will exact revenge. A casual meeting with fellow recruit Aida paves the way for romance. While there are welcome opportunities for advancement, like extensive travel and signalman school, César also finds the everyday dangers of his neighborhood replaced by the subtler racism of the Navy. The measured plot takes the hero from Orlando to San Diego to Manila, where he's stationed aboard the Kitty Hawk, as the specter of the Vietnam War lurks ominously in the background and Mr. Mike hatches an elaborate plan to destroy César. The strength of Carter's lean, straightforward prose, which mirrors César's earnest, ethical nature and urges readers to root for him, and the authority of detail in his debut [make this a] naval adventure thriller told in a fresh, straightforward new voice.
