Back when he was a spy, he drank cocktails with a king. Now he will be the guest at Wild About Books on Saturday, August 25th, beginning at 2 PM. George J. Dorner's book, "In the Black" is a novelization of his experiences in covert operations during the Vietnam War. During his extended tenure in the clandestine war in Laos, he did a lot more than quaff cocktails with royalty. He was the U. S. Air Force's sole intelligence source for the northern third of Laos. The Air Operations Center he belonged to ran the only effective military force opposing the North Vietnamese invasion of northern Laos. The pilots Dorner worked with performed heroic deeds as daily routine, and were the inspiration for his book. It is a unique novel, the only one ever told by an insider about the secret war in Laos.
Dorner will read from "In the Black" upon request, and sign copies for purchasers. He will also preview his sequel, "In the Light", a tale of some of his characters' readjustment to civilian life.
For those interested, he will discuss the writing process, including the use of a pseudonym. He was an adjunct instructor in writing at Mendocino College.
