OT - Xavier grad, now author, has new fiction military book

[BrianXavier]

Hopefully promoting a fellow Xavier grad's new book is okay with the board moderators....

That said, my college roommate Jude Lovell published a book in March called "Blue Six" which I just finished reading.
Book description: "In 2033’s tarnished America, an ambitious, unnamed filmmaker, employed by an educational production company called Formative Experience Films, has earned his first directorial gig. The assignment: travel back in time 40 years to Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1993, to shoot a documentary concerning the acclaimed fiction writer Joel Duvell’s own first job as a platoon leader in the United States Army. Over a six-week production, as the film crew documents the young officer’s life, we witness an artist in gestation, struggling with the consequences of his own choices, and painstakingly acquiring the knowledge and skills he would later employ in the pursuit of a much different vocation. BLUE SIX is a story of resiliency and perseverance; of staying in the fight to secure one’s place in the world."

I would encourage folks to check it out. I found it very enjoyable.

Easy to grab on Kindle for 7.99.

I remember Jude! We survived "the pit" of Brockman together, our Freshman year. That year X beat Mizzo in the pre season NIT and lost to Michigan in the first round of the NCAA. There! now this is a hoops thread also.
