Books by Ned Ricks
Revelation: A Novel of the Vietnam War - Ricks captures Vietnam's dust, heat, and 'fog of war' as only someone who was there can do. Set in the dust, heat, forests and mud of Vietnam's Central Highlands, Revelation is a story drawn from actual historical events. The conflict, the action is real
Trusting Appearances: Things Are Not Always As They Seem - "Ricks gives us an 'Everyman' who takes the reader on an intriguing life's ride full of action and mystery. All the while in the military thanks to a 'join the military or go to jail' choice, on active duty in Vietnam, the States, or Reserve duty while a successful businessman, life-threatening danger follows just in the shadows." -
