Phipps has included many pertinent characteristics of the time which gives his story a wonderful authenticity. I loved being immersed in the lifestyle of the 60s and 70s. He ensures you get all the necessary parts without being inundated with over-the-top writing or explanations. Phipps has a simple way of writing which gets right to the point. Spyder Bones was an absolute joy for me to read. However, if you're looking for an exciting interpretation of the eternal conflict between good and evil that also includes angels, werewolves, and vampires, this is definitely your book. But, regardless of anything else, he knows his life will never be the same.If you're looking for a typical war/good vs evil tale, then this isn't the book for you. Aaron must make some difficult decisions. A spiritual struggle that most only have a vague awareness of. During this time, he is exposed to an unseen war. He is subsequently trapped in a comatose state for months. Aaron, or Spyder as he is known to his friends, suffers a near death experience during combat. It's not an overly complicated existence. Aaron's life revolves around the love of his Vietnamese girlfriend, the danger of combat and his passion for music. After serving one tour of duty in Vietnam as a cavalryman, Aaron returns for a second tour as a combat medic. It's the summer of 1969 and Aaron Prescott is a seasoned soldier.

This is the story of Spyder Bones, a mystic warrior. However, there are a few, who not only understand the war, but are in the very thick of it. Some have even discovered secrets beyond the veil of what we see. Many have at least a basic understanding of what is happening. Most all have chosen a side, whether they admit it to themselves or not. God, Satan, angels and demons ideals interwoven into our very existence.

Many religions are based on the concepts. The eternal struggle between good and evil. This is the story of Spyder Bones, a mystic.
