The Accidental Spy (A Nick Andrews Story, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Nick Andrews trained as a U.S. Army Ranger-disciplined, skilled, and prepared for the structured brutality of modern war. But nothing in his training could ready him for what awaited behind enemy lines in Korea.

After a mission unravels and he's left stranded in hostile territory, Nick is rescued-not by his comrades, but by an aging Korean fighter, a man shaped by decades of guerilla warfare and ancient codes of survival. With no shared language and no way home, Nick becomes the reluctant student of a warrior who fights not for politics or nations, but for honor, revenge, and the land beneath his feet.

As the bond between soldier and warrior deepens, Nick begins to see the war-and himself-through a different lens. But the price of survival is steep, and when he's forced to choose between what the Army trained him to be and what the war is making him become, Nick must decide: is he still a soldier... or something else entirely?

Autorenporträt

Jack was born in Baltimore in 1943. He is a decorated veteran of the Vietnam war, a sailor, a fisherman, and a grandfather; all the makings of a great storyteller.

He was raised in Maryland on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay where he began a lifelong love of fishing, swimming, and sailing; avocations that he has practiced in more exotic locales including Hawaii, California, and Mexico. From rowboats to tallships, on deck and aloft, he knows the ropes and how to breathe life into salt water tales.

Graduating from Law School at the height of the troop build up in Vietnam, Jack volunteered for the Army and earned his commission as a second lieutenant at the Infantry Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia. He served with the 9th Infantry Division in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam where he learned the thrill and horror of war. During this time he investigated and reported on three individual actions that resulted in awards of the Medal of Honor providing him with deep insight into the character of valor and heroism.

Upon discharge from active duty, Jack's life took an unexpected turn; he began working in advertising and public relations. He worked his way up the ranks from copywriter and creative director to become an advertising manager for a major international corporation, and ultimately, head of his own agency. During this period, he found time to write his first published work, Dream Pirates, a novella for young readers with limited literacy and students of English as a second language. He wrote his second published work, WordPerfect: Creative Applications, after abandoning the advertising business to become a successful independent consultant in the data processing industry.

As a parent, Jack became a favorite resource of his children's teachers, visiting their classrooms to recite original stories he created in response to the children's suggestions. He anticipates that his grandchildren's teachers may call on him for encore performances. Ghost River and The Chocolate Dragon will probably make their way into the pages of a children's book one day, but Jack has many other tales he wishes to tell first.

Throughout his life, Jack has preferred fact to fiction; real danger has always held greater fascination for him than imagined danger; and real acts of valor have seemed more heroic than fabricated ones. His passion for history began in high school when he began studying the American Civil War....
