"If you ever visited Clark Air Base in the Philippines while it was an active US military base you will find plenty to relate to in this book."
Second Lieutenant Sean Mitchell catches a military cargo aircraft to Clark Air Base for a bit of adventure, something to break up the daily routine back at his duty station in Denver Colorado. His "adventure" turns into a life-and-death escape mission as he unwittingly finds himself an accessory to a large-scale criminal racket.
When he befriends a street kid named Billy Bong, Mitchell's world changes forever. He admires the young enterprising lad and wants to promote his street-side business. But, his association with Billy Bong leads Mitchell right into the crushing jaws of some powerful Angeles City criminal strongmen.
Mitchell's actions are noble, but na ve. He's out of his league on the rough and tumble streets of Angles City. Mitchell finds himself outnumbered and on the run. Will he be able to make it out of the Philippines, or is his nightmare just beginning?
Dreams of the Philippines is based on the true adventures of author Dave Ives. Through his writing, the memory of Clark Air Base and Angeles City in 1989 comes alive.
