The Cigarette Wall

This is an adults only book. Only three people know about the cigarette wall, the best kept secret in the Engineer unit. Not even the Commanding Officer knows. But he has other things to worry about. You can expect lots of chuckles and "laugh-out-louds" as you read how he copes with his problems while building an air strip in the Korean sub zero weather. Problems such as his motor pool Sergeant (who knows more about making bootleg whiskey than he does maintaining bulldozers) working a fiddle with the Madame who runs the six whore houses in the neighboring village. Or the Lieutenant in the Military Police unit who wants to close down the whore houses where the working engineers surreptitiously "relax" after a week of 12-hour shifts. The Commanding Officer knows that closing the outlet for his equipment operators hormone driven energies could lead to fights and accidents as those energies are redirected. So he must try to thwart the Lieutenant in his efforts to close the whore houses. . His First Sergeant is completing his last year of active duty before mandatory retirement and is in a funk over becoming a civlian, and the neighboring villagers provide ongoing aggravation. And why does the Commanding Officer need 14,210 pounds of rice? If you're tired of murders and metaphysical madness and want a bit of fun in your reading, don't miss this book.
