Author Name
Edgar Doleman (Author)
Child of a career soldier, Edgar Doleman grew up in two countries and eight states. On graduating from college, he followed his father into the Army, serving in Europe, Korea, Vietnam and various posts in the U.S. After retiring from the Army, he began a second career in information technology and on retiring from that, he and his wife Donna retired to the Northern Neck where she encouraged his writing and conceived the initial idea for a mystery, "The Chimera." But the project was put on hold as she fought an ultimately losing battle with cancer. Finding it too painful to continue with "The Chimera," Edgar focused on a work started some years earlier and "Arlen's Gun - A Novel of War in Vietnam - a Journey from Alienation to Brotherhood" became his first novel. He then returned to “The Chimera” which is now the second novel and which has expanded into a series.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

“Arlen's Gun” centers on an alienated and angry young man from the worst streets of Baltimore. The Vietnam War is raging and certain to be drafted, he’s persuaded by a friend to avoid that fate by volunteering for the Air Force.

They escape the draft but both end up in Vietnam, his friend in an administrative job while he is assigned as a gunner on an AC-47 gunship. His attitude isolates him from other crew members, and the nature of the gunship’s mission keeps the harsh realities of war remote until his plane is hit and crash lands in no-man’s land.

It is the monsoon season, the weather grounds rescue helicopters, and the crew is rescued by an Army unit. Events strand the airman with his rescuers, soon caught up in desperate battles where the airman finds himself a key to their survival and gradually discovers in his rescuers a path from self-centered alienation to brotherhood.
