Freak makes three
The final strand in the trilateral scenario is Pablo
Labor, a benrue freak who jumped ship with the Coast
(t'lard and hires on with gunrunners. Iving the fatal
knot, his dropoff point is in the waters off' the mission.
!Vto has an uncontrollable fear of being "turned
around." of being confused h urgency. His reflexes are
fierce, hke an animal's. VnUke with the others. 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. A Fiefs' Sunrise is the third novel in a 40-vear-h?e
that includes such experiences as riding with Merry
Pranksters. The book is his best .

A few of the elders sighed heavily at the last statement

wasn t feigning.
"Nancy and 1 looked out the window of our little

and some of them are starving, we have so much to he

"The comment took me by surprise " Reagan said. "I
didn t know anybody was unemployed or starving. And
Nancy said, 'Sure honey, that's what all of those protest

"So j said. Trotesfer?' And Nancy looked up at me.
and smiled in that vacant way she sfway does and said.
