Conroy will be displayed by self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the Hong Kong Book Fair 2023.

The book tells the riveting story of Pvt. Bill Collins, a young soldier stationed on the outskirts of Long Binh, the colossal base camp just north of Saigon. Collins is immersed in the legendary era of ’Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll,’ where temptations abound, and danger lurks at every turn.

In this enthralling tale, Tam Hiep, the reputed VC town and Off-Limits zone, surprisingly offers solace and even the potential for love. Collins and his comrades navigate their existence within the Green Machine, alternating between patrolling the surrounding countryside and embarking on adrenaline-fueled journeys to Saigon.

During their perilous adventures, they find respite in the vibrant dives and tantalizing fleshpots of Bien Hoa, from flying across the skies to Da Nang and Hue to embarking on the treacherous road to Phnom Penh alongside the captivating Kim Lon, Pvt. Collins embarks on a remarkable quest for both love and survival.
