 Amazon.com: Last Flag Flying: Books: Darryl Ponicsan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Darryl Ponicsan never imagined that his first novel, "The Last Detail", called by one critic "...the first underground triumph of the 70s..." would be a continuing story.
With the invasion of Iraq, however, the same elements that inspired the original - injustice, a senseless war, men of honor and duty caught in untenable positions - compelled him to revisit Billy Bad-Ass, Mule, and the hapless Meadows, and to see how his characters were faring in post-9/11 American life.
Darryl Ponicsan divides his time between an island in the Pacific Northwest and the California wine country.
