{"product_id":"lost-time-1","title":"Lost Time","description":"As a young man, Nick Hardings was an All-American guy- handsome, athletic, and smart. Then he went to Vietnam. Now, at seventy-one, the former Green Beret and decorated war hero is contemplating his life which he considers wasted. Fifty years earlier, after leading a successful raid to free a downed American pilot in North Vietnam, Hardings was wounded and captured. He spent two horrific years imprisoned in a bamboo cage in a Vietnamese village, where he endured beatings, near starvation, and relentless psychological trauma. Upon his release, racked with pain and emotionally despondent, he was sent to Walter Reed Medical Center where he considered taking his life and most likely would have were it not for the young nurse who cared for him for four months until his release.\nOnce home, unable to escape the demons of his past, he retreats to a rundown deli, isolates himself from the outside world, and spends the rest of his life with three eccentric friends. Now, aging and keenly aware of his ticking biological clock, he’s determined to salvage something meaningful for the remainder of his life by finding the nurse who had given him a reason to live.\nHis search leads to more meaning than he bargained for, or maybe just the right amount- a reunion with an amazing woman, a cross-generational relationship with a precocious seven-year-old, and a right-wing terror plot that could ignite a national upheaval. Most of all, it gives him the opportunity to rediscover the man he once was.\n\nHeartwarming, humorous, and deadly serious, with characters readers have grown to love from previous books in the series. This last installment of the Johnny Marzo series might be the best.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CJ48F2RZ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.B0CJ48F2RZ.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pezza, Bill\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
