The Jungle
1970
In book two you start right in the middle of the Vietnam war where Michael is lying on the ground pretending to be dead because everyone on his side is dead but some how he kills all the enemies and overtakes the situation. Then he sees an American helicopter and the helicopter lands right next to him and Steven and Nick are some of the soldiers that come out of it and they see Michael and are more than happy to see him and after they have been on the ground for a bit they are taken as prisoners along with a couple of soldiers.
When they are in the enemy fort the enemy takes two soldiers and puts them to a table with a six shooter with only one bullet in the gun and they are forced to play Russian roulette and if they do not play along they are thrown into a pit which will kill them. Now Steven and Michael are put together to the table and Steven can not handle the pressure so he is taken and thrown into the pit and it takes a while to die in the pit so it is just worse.
Now all soldiers are dead except Michael and Nick and just before they start playing Russian roulette Michael says that he wants more bullets in the gun and they agree so they are now playing the game white three bullets and Nick goes first and takes a shoot and there wasn’t a bullet and now it is Michael’s turn and he shoots at the enemy and somehow he overtakes the situation, after that he and Nick take Steven out of the pit and they flee from the place.
After a while they see a friendly helicopter which is only capable of saving Nick. Michael carries Steven to some help in the end and he has to carry him because he can not move his legs and also the left arm because he was in the pit
Home

Michael just returns alone home and after a while when he has been in the town for a little bit and said hello to everyone, he finds out that Steven has been talking to his wife so Michael Talks to her and finds out where Steven is and he is in a hospital and Michael goes there to get him.
Now he has talked to Steven and some one has been sending him a lot of money and Steven has no idea where the money is coming from, but it is addressed from Vietnam and Michael is very curious of who is sending Steven all that money so he goes to Vietnam and finds out who it is, it is Nick, he’s alive and he has completely lost his mind because he is playing Russian roulette for money. Michael tries to talk him into coming home but he has completely lost his mind and this time he is not so lucky and he blows his brains out. Now in the end Nick is dead Steven finally came home from the hospital and Michael is the only whole person after the war.
My conclusion about this book is that it is a great book but just a bit complicated and it does not keep your intention in the first book but in the second and third book it does more than that and there is some of action in it so it is a good book.
