Malvern Vet, Ron Strobel, Turns Experience into Novel

After a remarkable 30 year journey, Malvern resident Ron Strobel completed writing and publishing the story that captures the adventure he experienced during the Korean War.  He tracked down his beloved platoon leader, and drew from his experiences while serving to write, Sgt. Gast:  Conversations with a Cosmic Warrior.  It’s the tale of a young suburban Philadelphia man whose life is transformed by a life-changing event that occurs while manning a foxhole, and the chain of events that unfold from that fateful moment.  While the book is riveting, and the plot is filled with surprises, the heart of the book introduces a mindset that sets readers on a path toward achieving outcomes, noticing the unobvious and getting results by design.  As a veteran, he hopes his book will serve those who have served the country.  The book will hit book stores in January, and the initial launch comprises a limited commemorative edition of 250 stamped and hand-signed hardback books. www.sgtgast.com
