San Benito, Texas, 1970. Lottery number 216. One year in hell. One promise to keep.
Roberto "Beto" Garza is nineteen years old when the draft notice arrives—wedged between a Sears catalog and his mother's magazine, delivered by a mailman who knows his father. Number 216 isn't safe. Isn't certain death. Just suspended animation while the government decides his fate. Three weeks later, he's married to María Delgado with a baby on the way and orders to report to Fort Polk.
Firebase Echo. Radio operator. 365 days counting backward.
While Beto coordinates artillery strikes in the Vietnamese jungle, his son grows in photographs. While he calls in medevacs for soldiers who won't survive, María's letters become the only thing keeping him sane. While the war tries to erase him, he makes one promise: I'm coming home. But some promises are easier to make than keep.
From the cotton fields of South Texas to the chaos of Vietnam, NOTHING FURTHER TO REPORT is a devastating novel about what war costs and what love preserves.
Perfect for readers who loved The Things They Carried, Matterhorn, and The Yellow Birds.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A masterpiece of literary war fiction—Tim O'Brien meets Sandra Cisneros."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Devastating and beautiful. I couldn't put it down."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Finally, a Vietnam novel that honors Mexican American service and sacrifice." One soldier. One family. One year that changed everything.
