ROE: Rules of Engagement

by Bill Rambow

Book Two of the Philip Lawson Saga.With more than half of his tour of duty in Vietnam behind him Specialist Fourth-class Philip Lawson starts looking to the future, to a time beyond War. He begins to envision what awaits his life and with that greater questions emerge. He wonders what future he may have with Jane, the love of his life, and where his post-war time may carry him. Although ever-hopeful with the image of Jane in his mind, he remains immersed in the hell that surrounds him where the ever-changing circumstances and seemingly randomness of combat continue to test his resilience. As his own fears are realized, an old friend unexpectedly returns to the company after a brief stint in the world and his changed personality is unsettling. It haunts Phil and quickly threatens to plant the seeds of doubt in his mind. Fortunately, however, he is soon offered a brief respite—a chance to honor a friend he nearly lost and an adventure back to the World where a surprise finds him that makes certain his life will never be the same. But lurking in the jungle on the other side of the world one final test waits that will challenge all he has learned about the meaning of brotherhood, love, family, and sacrifice.

Will their be ever a Book 3 ???

Loved the book but to have stop in the midd!e of a river and no book 3 to continue is to much for me to under stand. You need to finish series . It has been 2 or more years now.

A sequel to CIB. The saga of Philip Lawson continues. He's been on ROR in Australia, he meets a girl and falls in love. Lawson now continues his tour in Nam, but now as a leader, not a follower. He not only has to worry about his survival, but the survival of those he supervises.
