Why Onoda stayed as long as he did-- I can't fathom. I imagine there were many other stragglers who simply died anonymously in the jungle. A World War II Filipino soldier told me that many Japanese soldiers took off their uniforms at the end of war and integrated into the Philippine population pretending to be Chinese. Yeah Lily Hill seemed a likely place to hide out. I like the Onoda story so much that I put a character like him in my second book (working on it right now). I'm jealous-- why were you at Clark in Sept.2013? . It is a shame to see it in shambles. Thanks again for doing the review-- many folks have promised them-- but few take the time to do one. The book world is a numbers game. If you want-- send your mailing address to my steelstreasure@gmail.com-- I'm happy to send you a signed copy of Steel's Treasure. Keep in touch.

I'm surprised that there was not someone like him still living in the tunnels of Lily Hill on Base. <br /><br />By the way I previously left a review of your book on Amazon and eagerly await the next book.<br /><br />I was at Clark in September 2013. The base is in a shambles in so many areas. Disappointing for sure. I needed more time to look around. <br /><br />Dave McCuenJeproxdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966640507461313315noreply@blogger.com
