Produktbeschreibung

A Coast Guard Captain and a young JFK embark on a deadly mission in the South Pacific in the #1 New York Times- bestselling author's WWII thriller series.

Solomon Islands, 1943. As the Americans are gripping in a bitter war with the Japanese, Lieutenant David Armistead goes missing. Some say the Marine Corps hero-and cousin of President Roosevelt-has gone over to the enemy. Now Coast Guard Captain Josh Thurlow and his ragtag crew are charged with finding him.

Recruited in the hunt is a frail PT-boat skipper nicknamed "Shafty", whose given name is John F. Kennedy. When Josh is stranded with a mysterious woman who has a tendency to chop off men's heads, it's up to Kennedy to come to the rescue. Bu to complete the mission, he must win a high-stakes poker game with a young officer who happens to be the best gambler in the South Pacific. That officer's name is Richard M. Nixon.

Based solidly on historical fact, The Ambassador's Son is a "tightly wrapped tale of wartime action" ( Publishers Weekly).
