Tour of Duty By Walter J. Sheldon "They were all ugly Americans to the people of Saruashi, and in a way Paul couldn’t blame the Japanese. Each night his fellow Americans from the Air Force base swarmed over the town, brawling, drinking, offending the girls. Now the agitators and terrorists were moving in, inflaming old hates, and threatening the only thing Paul really cared about… his idyllic affair with Mariko. She was a girl who could love and hate with every fiber of her small, flawless body. But she could not do both, he knew, at the same time."

"We can't sell it to someone like him!" Helen had to admit the sale of their estate was necessary. She and her mother could no longer afford to keep it up. But she couldn't agree with her mother that selling it to the popular writer, Jarret Manning, would be a good deal. Jarret was a stranger, a rootless jet-setter with no sense of tradition. Yet Helen soon discovered that arguing over real estate was the least of her problems with Jarret. He threatened to come between her and her fiance, Charles. And he seemed likely to succeed!
