In Barry W. Levy’s debut novel, The War Machine (Double Dagger Books $24.99), set in 1988, David “Kick” Tacker, a hardened veteran of Vietnam’s secret war, struggles to confront his haunted past. A Canadian-born killer molded by American warfare, Kick seeks to expose Canada’s hidden role in the Vietnam War before those secrets vanish forever. Teaming up with a local reporter and shadowy handlers, he races against time, pursued by a deadly assassin. From the jungles of Vietnam to Vancouver’s dark streets, Kick faces a final battle to reveal the truth or perish trying. Levy is an award-winning actor, filmmaker and screenwriter. The story of Kick is based on the author’s late friend, Dale, a Canadian who fought with US Special Forces in the Vietnam War. 9781990644931
