From Publishers Weekly Blake's lively follow-up to Dances with Wolves explores the coming-of-age of a rebellious 18-year-old serviceman in the summer of 1966.

From School Library Journal YA-- Airman Mortensen's story， told in teen vernacular， is one of an 18-year-old who joins the service in 1966 because it seems like a good idea at the time. He soon regrets his decision. Following a divergence of viewpoint with the Comm Squad commander， he becomes the latrine king while awaiting court martial. Life goes steadily downhill until he meets Claire Brill， the base commander's daughter. A passionate romance follows. In due time， Claire terminates the relationship and Mortensen falls into deep decline. This novel gives voice to a young man's friendship， first serious romance gone sour， and the beginning of life after. Teens may well find the appeal of standard romances wane as a result of this engaging tale written by the author of Dances with Wolves (Fawcett， 1988). --Barbara Hawkins， West Potomac High， Fairfax， VACopyright 1991 Reed Business Information， Inc.
