Product Description
Product Description
Don’t Mean Nuthin’ follows the bloody trail of killing during the Vietnam War wrought by a Phoenix Program assassin, Frank Morgan, who discovers he may be working for the enemy and reeks vengeance.
About the Author
Ron Lealos is a Vancouver, WA, author who has studied fiction writing under several mentors, including Tom Spanbauer. Mr. Lealos has completed five novels and was active in the domestic Vietnam anti-war movement, leading to his fictional account of the exploits of Frank Morgan during that soldier’s tour of the Delta in 1969 in Don’t Mean Nuthin’. Mr. Lealos’ latest novel, Pashtun, is the story of a Phoenix Program assassin plying his killing trade in modern day Afghanistan amongst the Pashto tribesmen. While Mr. Lealos is not a military veteran and has had no connection with any branch of the intelligence services, he has been fascinated both by war and the spy game. Outside of writing, Mr. Lealos has developed, manufactures, and markets a rapid home saliva test for the detection of HIV antibodies.

It Meant Something To Me
18 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
Lealos is an author who can put the reader in the scene. In this case, the scene is a horrific, criminally-insane war that is run by corrupt officials and wastes millions of innocent lives. Told from the view-point of Frank Morgan, the story follows this assassin as he attempts to right at least one of the wrongs of which he knows he is guilty. The humidity, the heat, the stench, the red soil, the mud, the gore -- all are brilliantly described in this taut, fast-moving story.

Brilliant book, marred only by editor failure
1 Mar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Author, I am not. Nor was I in Vietnam, although I've read 200+ books about Vietnam.
This book is in my top 10. However, an avid reader I am. I know good from bad.
Author, I hope you're reading this.
At 2/3 through the book, you lost it on editing, and made ridiculous spelling and grammar mistakes on a work of art. I'm not trying to be harsh, but they really pull the reader out of the story.
I am a veteran too, although not Vietnam, and salute you for all that. I'm just jotting this down as a reader who loved the book.
This is a fantastic, vivid, gut-wrenching work.
But please, Author. The worst thing you can do is jolt a reader out of the story with spelling and grammar mistakes. I spotted ten simple spelling and grammatical mistakes in the last third of the book, things like, "I road the Freedom Bird with him" when you meant "I rode the Freedom Bird". It's like - you had a deadline. Which I really understand, but come back and fix it for posterity's sake.
This is a fantastic, beautifully rendered, well-crafted, graphically detailed novel. You have it all, and you screw it up with some simple spelling and missed words in the last 2/3? Fix it, already. I'll give you 6/5 rating.

Worth the time
12 July 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
From the time I started reading this novel till the end I enjoyed it. Yes I might be a little rogue but I don't doubt anything about our country. The plot started off and ended with a surprise. I downloaded it to my Kindle and it was well worth the cost. Not to short and not to long.
