*** Shack, Lead ! ***

With thanks to the founding fathers and the U.S. Constitution

"Shack, Lead !" was my first attempt at writing one continuous story, something like a novel. I started it about the same time I started "The Travels of Willy Tamarack." By the way, I originally posted both the "Adventures of Willy Tamarack" and "Shack, Lead !" without story codes and received a polite note from Uther asking me to code my material. I went back and coded the "Adventures" but never bothered with "Shack, Lead !" There's a little bit of everything in it. The majority of the sex is between consenting adults...Well, there's a lot of consensual teenage sex too ! Cheating wives ! "Sport Fucking !" Prostitution ! A little blackmail towards the end ! I must caution you !!! A father, mother and son do party together although mother and son never have relations. Well, neither do father and son. The two of them just share a lot.

Celeste read several chapters of "Shack, Lead !" I was really stoked after reading her review. You can read her review here.

By the way "Shack, Lead !" is an expression fighter pilots use when the bomb directly hits the target...Like those sequences they flooded the TV with during the Gulf War and the Afghanistan Campaign. Let me tell you that didn't happen very often in Vietnam and before and never with the consistency that computed bombing systems give you...And the laser shit and TV guidance ?! Just fucking magic !

But back to "Shack, Lead !" - the novel. I thought the novel started out pretty shit hot but I soon found that I couldn't end it. So I made it connect to the "Adventures" and transport you to the "Travels." While Willy was off gallivanting all over the U.S., the Caribbean and the Far East, finding himself in the "Travels;" you were flashing back with Gary Cahill, watching him establish his reputation as a number one cock's man. The novel attempts to paint a picture of Vietnam combat and service life in the Pacific theater of operations from the late 60's to probably the late 70's. Well, some of it does. The rest is the usual perversions.

Gary and Wanda Cahill are divorced and Gary's career is quickly being flushed down the commode. Oh ! It's all Gary's fault and I think he knows it but it's way too late to change it. Life moves on. His final assignment is serving out his last years before retirement at an air base near Las Vegas.

Gary runs into Willy Tamarack at the Commissary. Willy is just about ready to leave town unexpectedly ("The End, My Friend") but neither of them know that at the time. They served together once at an air base in Northern Utah; both flying the F-16, Viper, during the early years.

I think there are some fair flying scenes in "Shack, Lead !" Although off hand I can only think of one and it was more about a guy getting shot down. But then I wrote it so I'd probably think that regardless of how it turned out. Some flash backs to the war, the P.I., Korea, a TDY (temporary duty) to Europe and the continual pussy chasing that sometimes accompanied such tours.

Carol Whitouski and a Maggie Lee, two enlisted women, make cameo appearances in "Shack, Lead !" Carol even calls Gary to check on Willy when she can't get a hold of him after he splits town.

Gary and Wanda Cahill end up reconciling and remain in Las Vegas with their son, Al, who's quite a cock's man in his own right ! The three of them appear in a lot of "The Stories of Willy Tamarack."

"Shack, Lead !" ends when Willy arrives back in town with Carol in tow. Then Willy and Carol, Gary and Wanda and Al and his girl friend, Diane, all party right into "The Stories."

"Shack, Lead !" is fifteen chapters long, close to a hundred and fifty pages. You can get all the chapters "zipped" up here
