Der Alten Scheune

Wild Blue Yonder: A Novel of the 1960s

Nate, Alan, Henry and Tim have found a secret place to meet up, get high and talk. And it’s right behind their barracks. Tony unexpectedly flies in from England and joins the troops for an evening in Der Alten Scheune. He tells them about a Canadian PX in the town of Baden-Baden, where the latest and greatest stereo hi-fi gear can be purchased, and shortly they are on their way. The conversation turns to the subject they’ve all be puzzling over – indeed, the question most of us spend our lives puzzling over: Why are we here? For the troops, the answer is far from comforting.
