Rowe, Miller, and Hubbard, are prisoners from an ancient war. As far as their government is concerned, they are missing in action. As far as their families are concerned, they are dead. Since their capture they have been used as slave labor by their captors, but now political changes, and their deteriorating physical condition mean that they face imminent death. But then a chance of escape presents itself... About 31000 words. More than a year before, and far far away, and old man had put the muzzle of a shotgun to his throat and gone to push the trigger. This novel tells their amazing story. (Author's Note: Even though some years have passed since these events took place, I have had, in the interests of international relations, public face, personal feelings and, indeed, diplomacy, to leave some elements of this story deliberately vague. I have also had to include small amounts of disinformation. However, intelligent readers will have no difficulty in filling in the gaps, as it were, and picturing, indeed, the whole story. My main hope is that this book will prove a fitting epitaph to Al Eckman. I also hope that sometime in the future, Hollywood will do its duty and produce a fitting tribute to this incredible man. Where are you Mister Spielberg?)

Over 21 years ago I was walking on a bridge in Florida, where I saw many fishermen fishing. And contemplating on the subject of death. Looking at the ocean where it seem to have no end. Amazed at the Ocean how it glitters when hit by the sun's rays. And in my depression wishing to drown in it. Wondering if I would throw myself in the ocean to drown would it be true that the dolphins I saw at a distance would save me or if that was a myth only to be found in flipper on my favorite channel Nick a Night at the time. So as I left my spot to walk at the bridge I saw a fish out of the water and gasping for water. A puffer fish with many colors, I thought of saving it but then said to myself what happens if it puffs up and stings me with it's spikes. Although at the time I thought on death , deep inside I didn't want to die. So I walked and thought of letting it die but my conscience bother me to the point of having me run towards it and speaking to it saying don't sting me , I want to save you. So I grabbing it by the tail and throwing it to the ocean with all my might hoping of saving it's life. At that moment a pelican catches it and swallows it whole then looking at me and in it's language asks me for more. In my anger I curse and yell at the poor pelican wishing it to die for wanting to eat to survive. Now years after I look at that event and say in many ways we has humans need to eat something living to survive. For us to live a animal , a fish , or plant must die. Just like Jesus had to die so we can enjoy life everlasting through his life which was his blood. Death and life are closer than one thinks although they may seem to be enemies for now, they walk side by side. One is not without the other. Each day one dies and a other is born. One never decides ones birth and never decides ones death. Although some decides to cheat death before their time only to find out there is a life after this life when they die. So now with all my heart I bless the bird which at one time I cursed in my lack of understanding. Though a murder to some including that pufferfish a hero and a example to others who wish to survive. But thinking how poisonous is a puffer fish I believe the poor loveable pelican later on died . So in thier desire to live , both the puffer fish and the pelican died.

In this compelling book, Rien Fertel tells the story of humanity’s complicated and often brutal relationship with the brown pelican over the past century. This beloved bird with the mythically bottomless belly—to say nothing of its prodigious pouch—has been deemed a living fossil and the most dinosaur-like of creatures. The pelican adorns the Louisiana state flag, serves as a religious icon of sacrifice, and stars in the famous parting shot of Jurassic Park, but, most significantly, spotlights our tenuous connection with the environment in which it flies, feeds, and roosts—the coastal United States. In 1903, Theodore Roosevelt inaugurated the first national wildlife refuge at Pelican Island, Florida, in order to rescue the brown pelican, among other species, from the plume trade. Despite such protections, the ubiquity of synthetic “agents of death,” most notably DDT, in the mid-twentieth century sent the brown pelican to the list of endangered species. By the mid-1960s, not one viable pelican nest remained in all of Louisiana. Authorities declared the state bird locally extinct. Conservation efforts—including an outlandish but well-planned birdnapping—saved the brown pelican, generating one of the great success stories in animal preservation. However, the brown pelican is once again under threat, particularly along Louisiana’s coast, due to land loss and rising seas. For centuries, artists and writers have portrayed the pelican as a bird that pierces its breast to feed its young, symbolizing saintly piety. Today, the brown pelican gives itself in other ways, sacrificed both by and for the environment as a bellwether bird—an indicator species portending potential disasters that await. Brown Pelican combines history and first-person narrative to complicate, deconstruct, and reassemble our vision of the bird, the natural world, and ourselves.
