Synopsis
Two years after the United States has pulled out of Vietnam, the South Vietnamese Army wages a final battle that is headed for Saigon, and a skeleton crew of American officers is charged with evacuating the remaining American and Vietnemese personnel.
Set against the background of Saigon's desperate last days, this concluding volume to Carroll's extraordinary naval aviation trilogy follows the adventures of helicopter pilot Lt. Tim Boyle and his best friend, Lt. Mike Santy, as they struggle to pull off the final American withdrawal from Vietnam. Boyle and Santy find themselves in the midst of chaos and danger as they desperately attempt to evacuate a stranded team of Navy S.E.A.L.s before the final collapse. Carroll's vivid writing puts us inside the cockpit of a Huey on a split-second rooftop landing, lets us feel the scorching heat of the jet afterburners, and takes us deep into the jungle, where the eerie silence is shattered by the crack of AK-47 rifles. Filled with searing authenticity and adventure, No Place to Hide is a remarkable story of heroism, friendship, and sacrifice in the face of war.

From Publishers Weekly
The evacuation of Saigon during the last days of the Vietnam War is brought to vivid life in this concluding volume of Carroll's naval aviation trilogy (North SAR; Ghostrider One). Helicopter pilot Lt. Tim Boyle and his best friend, Lt. Mike Santy, find themselves in the midst of the chaos, danger and heartbreak of the efforts to keep the enemy at bay just long enough to prevent the American withdrawal from becoming a complete catastrophe. The pair's adventures here coil around two major plot lines and one minor one that occur during April 1975: an effort to reach and evacuate a Navy officer who has been leading a troop of irregulars in the mountains; the planning and implementation of the Saigon evacuation; the tensions felt by Navy wives who know all too well the probabilities of life and death. In Carroll's gifted hands, we fly in Hueys over Saigon rooftops; crawl through the jungles with the enemy in spitting distance; and feel the fatigue and frustration of professionals who know their leaders are self-serving and incompetent. Throughout, Carroll inserts technical and military details painlessly and with graceful accuracy, making this a war novel that's as authentic as it is memorable.
