Eyes of the River

“A haunting and deeply moving tale of friendship, redemption, and the enduring bonds forged in war's crucible. Eyes of the River is a masterful exploration of how three Marines—Rick Larson, Tremaine Wilson, and Adrian Dumars—navigate the long shadows of Vietnam while building an unlikely sanctuary along Washington D.C.'s forgotten Anacostia River. Dave Strang has crafted a gripping thriller that transcends genre boundaries, weaving together elements of political suspense, family drama, and profound meditation on trauma and healing. At its heart lies the extraordinary friendship between Rick and Tre—an honoring and heartbreaking portrayal of PTSD and veteran brotherhood. The novel's vivid setting along the Anacostia transforms a forgotten corner of the nation's capital into a character unto itself, while the author’s unflinching examination of power, corruption, and the price of survival resonate with startling relevance. Both intimate and sweeping, Eyes of the River is a testament to the possibility of redemption and the healing power of human connection. Dave Strang writes with the heart of a true storyteller, delivering a novel that will stay with readers long after the final page.”
