Times are tough in 1938 during the Great Depression when eighteen-year- old Leslie Charles hears that the navy shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia, is hiring college students. A talented musician endowed with exceptional math skills, Leslie believes he's a good candidate for work now that he has one year of college under his belt at Mars Hill College in Marsh County, Virginia. Leaving his parents, siblings, and the rest of his family behind in Asheville, North Carolina, Leslie becomes a welder's helper at the yard, and soon the lure of the navy snags him. He becomes an enlisted man, endures basic training, and begins his journey both as a sailor and as a man. A novel of military fiction, China Sailor narrates the story of Leslie's coming-of- age, including his life as a sailor, his experiences in China during its civil war and its war with Japan, and his personal relationships with women. It provides a glimpse into this exciting time in history leading up to the start of World War II.

When two-year-old Franz Charles arrives at Ellis Island in New York with his widower father and siblings in 1906, no one in his family speaks English. By the time their train reaches Johnson City, Tennessee, it is mostly empty of immigrants. Now alone in a land where they know no one, little Franz and his family must begin anew. As Franz embarks on a coming-of-age journey, he matures into a successful thug who collects monies owed to the head of an African American gangster bar from white gamblers in North Carolina. After a chain of events prompts Franz to murder three men, he is forced to flee from the police in Asheville to Chicago, where he soon agrees to switch places with a disgruntled marine. When his decision causes him to land in the midst of the Chinese revolution and the Japanese occupation, Franz quickly gains a reputation for his skills in hand-fighting and killing his enemies. But just as Franz becomes a decorated marine, his past catches up with him. Marine I Am One shares the thrilling tale of one mans adventures after impersonates an unhappy marine and is led into a brutal war where he must prove his valor and stay one step away from those who want to find him.
