Can Saigon survive the communist onslaught?
Helicopters swarm as sporadic explosions and gunfire reverberate throughout the capital. Panic engulfs the streets filled with civilians. A desperate dash to flee before the fall. The South Vietnamese military is hanging on by a thread, buying time for the people.
Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops wash over the city in unstoppable waves. Communist soldiers advance toward the presidential palace, their faces canvases of the hardships and sacrifices they endured for a war they fought so long. Their final goal is within reach - the unification of Vietnam under a communist flag.
Everyone wants out before it's too late. Money means nothing, gold is everything. Anxious children grip their mothers tightly as they are caught in the human stampede. Unable to keep up, the old are at the mercy of the approaching madness. A father's eyes search the heavens as a helicopter passes overhead. Maybe this one will carry his family away to safety. Maybe...
Saigon braces for the inevitable in The Beast Cometh, Book 21 in the Airmen Series.
