"Whether
one has served in the Southeast Asia conflict [Viet Nam],
observed it from afar, or read of those turbulent times, Bill
Morales' historical treatment in his fictional account titled,
"The Fence," makes for exciting reading. He has
blended personal knowledge and experience with commendable
research, and has produced a good read for airmen and non-military
alike." Hugh L. Cox III, Major General, USAF
[Ret] Deputy Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Special Operations Command
[1988 - 90] |

| "A strong, heartfelt novel, written with
emotion and conviction; a novel of war and memory - a new voice,
well worth hearing and certain to have a cross-over audience."
Oscar Hijuelos - Pulitzer Prize Winning Author |

| "From the melancholy of a
one-night stand to the tension of a combat mission and the emptiness
at the loss of a fellow warrior, "The Fence" captures
true emotions of men and women trapped in the nightmare of war.
Look elsewhere if it is superhero fiction you want because "The
Fence" explores the feelings of real people. As one who
was there, "The Fence" quickly transported me back
to memories of joy and sadness I may never experience again."
Stu Thompson, Colonel, USAF [Ret] Former AC-130 Pilot,
Ubon, Thailand [1972-73] |

| "Sensitive, filled with emotion.
Morales forces us to remember the Vietnam enigma through Latino
eyes. A war fought by so many, on both sides of The Fence .

Streets." |
