Rick O'Neil thought he left the war behind him.
After Vietnam, Rick was eager to forget about what he'd seen on the battlefield and go back to living a normal life. But upon returning home, he soon discovers it isn't that simple. Haunted by the images of the past, and the incessant voices he calls the Night Whisperers, the memories of war colour his every waking moment. With his marriage crumbling and his anger rising, Rick takes to the road in search of answers.
From a commune in Maine to confrontations with the Ku Klux Klan, Rick battles his demons and the mark the war left on him. In a nation struggling with a failed war, protests, racial tensions and chaos, he must fight for his sanity... and a reason to keep living.
Taking you back to the turbulent 1970s, follow a Vietnam Combat Veteran as he struggles to adjust in a time when Americans watched as their country was torn apart by unrest, racial tensions, and a distrust of anyone over the age of thirty. "Night Whisperers!" crackles with tension as Rick, like so many returning veterans finds himself facing indifference, hostility, and hatred as he struggles to adjust to civilian life.
Written by Peter Alan Turner, himself a Vietnam Combat Veteran, Peter draws from his own personal experiences to leave you wondering which parts were fiction, and which really happened.
