Da Flip Side

About the Book

Dana Styles is a young black man who enters the military with a sense of patriotism and duty to his country. Unfortunately, during his tour of duty in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, Dana is befriended by three of his fellow soldiers whose inner city backgrounds and ghetto mentality soon have Dana joining their thuggish ways and getting caught up in their criminal activity.

Like a fourth wheel on a vehicle heading for certain disaster, Dana rolls with his new comrades onto the fast track, where he loses himself in the pursuit of fast money, fast cars and even faster women. It's not until Dana's crew has a run in with the army's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) that Dana's comrades hit the breaks and stop their illicit activities for they all fear going to prison. All except Dana.
