History repeats itself.
First as tragedy.
Second as vengeance.
Chained together at the ankle, Eric and four other men referred to as columnists, struggle against the harsh desert heat, savage working conditions, and the ruthless realities of an unknowing future. As they strive to maintain their sanity, they develop a camaraderie through shared pasts, and a whimsicle melody whistled day in and day out.
When an unfortunate accident displaces the chained gang, they soon realize their shackled existence isn't the only horror dwelling in the vast desert before them. Another predator stalks the camp, and survival may require more than their combined strength and wits. These so-called columnists will need a warrior's song of their own to face what death has in store for them.
The 5th Columnist shares the struggle of Italian, German, and Japanese Americans caught in a dark part of American history. Though this story is work of fiction, the truth is equally as disturbing.
