Every conflict in Vietnam did not take place on the battlefield, and every casualty did not suffer physical wounds. For Navy journalist Wally Jeter, the scars he brought home from the war were those on his heart. Despite having fallen in love with a beautiful young woman during his year in Saigon, Jeter left her behind when his tour of duty was over. After two decades, he realizes that the only way he’ll ever be happy is to return and find his old love, although his journey back brings even greater revelations than his first trip to Southeast Asia—and a bigger shock. Lost in Saigon is set in the waning years of the long, bitter struggle that defined a generation. (Gemini Originals, 2018)

“A smart blend of vivid observations, profound political views, and sensational romantic quests. A perfect fit for fans of history and bittersweet romance, Lost in Saigon calls attention to how love always shines through even in the face of war, cultural differences, and suffering. Prepare for several hard-hitting truths that are shared through the perspective of an American Navy journalist in love with a beautiful Vietnamese girl.” —Chicago Book Review

“This little literary gem…is one of a handful of ‘war novels’ I wish I’d had as a reference book when I was writing my “Saigon Commandos” series back in the 1980s…. Martin has probably forgotten more than I ever learned…during my own tour of duty in the City of Sorrows.” —Author Nicholas Cain (pen name Jonathan Cain)

“Martin’s intimate knowledge of the geography of Saigon…and everything that was exotic for young Americans stationed in what was called the “Paris of Asia” makes this one of the most authentic novels in the literature of the Vietnam War.” —Vietnam veteran Steven Raymer, Professor Emeritus, Indiana University
