Excerpt from The Garden of the Sun: A NovelNight hung thick and heavy over the Sulu Sea and the Island of Jolo. There was no mist or fog, simply utter, obliterating blackness.Hour after hour -captain Ballard lay stretched on the ground with his saddle for a pillow, watching and waiting for the sky to clear. In the darkness he could scarcely see the men nearest him rolled up in their blankets. The jungle was silent except for the wind in the trees and the occasional whinny of a horse on the picket line.Finally, the clouds scurrying to the east ward before the wind were great rifted patches, with a star here and there glimmer ing through.Captain Ballard rose to his feet. A low toned order was given and repeated from mouth to mouth as the sleeping troopers were awakened. Dim forms hurried back and forth between the trees, horses were saddled.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
