Synopsis

Set against the background of Saigon’s desperate last days, this concluding volume to Carroll’s extraordinary naval aviation trilogy follows the adventures of helicopter pilot Lt. Tim Boyle and his best friend, Lt. Mike Santy, as they struggle to pull off the final American withdrawal from Vietnam. Boyle and Santy find themselves in the midst of chaos and danger as they desperately attempt to evacuate a stranded team of Navy SEALs before the final collapse. Carroll’s vivid writing puts us inside the cockpit of a Huey on a split-second rooftop landing, lets us feel the scorching heat of the jet afterburners, and takes us deep into the jungle, where the eerie silence is shattered by the crack of AK-47 rifles. Filled with searing authenticity and adventure, No Place to Hide is a remarkable story of heroism, friendship, and sacrifice in the face of war.

Goodreads review by David on April 07, 2022

I’ve read a few stories set in Viet Nam during the war years, however, No Place to Hide took me back almost 5 decades to the end of the war and the evacuation of Saigon.

Goodreads review by Paul on November 02, 2020

Good story and had a feel of authenticity to it, but not the first book I'd recommend to someone looking for a Vietnam book to read. Didn't know this was the end of a trilogy when I started it so maybe I needed the first two to really get the emotional attached. knowing they were based on real guys......more

Goodreads review by Jim on September 12, 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. First off, it’s the first novel I’ve read about the last days of the U.S. experience in Vietnam, so that was a big plus for me. But the characters were compelling and the story itself moved with the same pace of that last fateful month when Saigon fell. Hope I can find......more

Quotes

“In Carroll’s gifted hands, we fly in Hueys over Saigon rooftops; crawl through the jungles with the enemy in spitting distance; and feel the fatigue and frustration of professionals who know their leaders are self-serving and incompetent. Throughout, Carroll inserts technical and military details painlessly and with graceful accuracy, making this a war novel that’s as authentic as it is memorable.” Publishers Weekly

“Gritty, realistic…Carroll’s authentic details immerse you in the action, whether he’s describing the landing of a disabled helicopter on an aircraft carrier, or the Saigon crowds storming the US Embassy.” Kirkus Reviews
