Once Again Paul Darby

Serving aboard the U. S. S. ELDORADO in San diego shortly before the Gulf War, Petty Officer Cheevers becomes involved in a shipboard scandal that ruins his career. He's been blamed for inticing his shipmate, Seaman John Trout, into hanging himself in the ship's brig. Only Cheevers knows the real storyhat Seaman Trout experienced a past life vision of himself dying in a battle nearly two hundred years previously. Although Cheevers explains these details to the ship's captain in an investigation, still resulting in a demotion and his dismissal from the ship in disgrace, he withholds the key information that has shattered his perception of reality. Seaman Trout predicted Cheevers will die, too, in a trap set by fate that is impossible to escape. Cheevers learns that his life hangs in the balance of being able to circumvent destiny by proving his shipmate's prophesy wrong, and surviving the conflict that erupts in the Persian Gulf initiated by Saddam Hussein.
