Salvos

Downtown Olongapo in the Philippines during the days of Subic Bay Naval Base, the battle group just arrived, the last years of the Ferdinand Marcos presidency. The town is hot, dusty, sprawling with bars, girls, sailors-and undercover cops. When Frank Salvos arrives in town to join a battle group, he's already under suspicion of guerilla connections-through coincidence and bad luck. His problems with mistaken identity continue after the carrier deploys from Subic into the South China Sea and crashes into a Soviet submarine, forcing the ship to return to Subic Bay and more trouble for Frank. A story from Olongapo as host to the US Navy in the Marcos years, Frank on the run through nightclubs and into the back streets.
