Stone has swim ditVKuttv plumbing TabUA psyche, and he uses VaWo imte&vt swwwhat as a natvualistic Cvnsttvict akin to Frank Nonas' brute. Much of the novel is darkened eerily with such over tones. The silent, submerged presence of sharks at the edge of a reef or brain coral, for instance, or the ancient ruins of py res erected for human sacrifice are, like the plot, crafted expertly. 4 FUt Sunrise is Stone's fust novel in the six years since his National Book Award-winning lg Soldiers, a novel that brought Vietnam back to America in the shape of drags.
