Book Synopsis: U.S. Army Special Forces Captain Mack Gerber didn't believe it: a modern-day Vietnamese Billy the Kid! But intel indicated that an NVA officer called Billy the Zip is challenging American POWs to Old West gunfights. True to legend... Billy always wins.
The CIA doesn't want any more publicity for this self-proclaimed gunslinger. Not only is he violating all rules of war, but he's bad for Three Corps morale. With his fame quickly spreading far and wife, the Zip is spawning imitators -- NVA posses are coming out of the field, demanding weapons. It's a Special Forces mission that requires extra finesse.. and a lightning draw.
Gerber knows there's only one way to smoke out the fastest gun in the East: a showdown with the fastest guin in the West.
Eric Helm is the pen name of two Vietnam veterans, men who saw it all, did it all and lived to tell it all.
