Produktbeschreibung

The Jade Princess

An adventure of danger, desire, and destiny in the shadow of war.

1938 . . . The world teeters on the edge of chaos. In the restless waters of the Pacific, as empires flex their power and war whispers across the horizon. One-man flies between the cracks . . . Mark Diamond, an American-born hotshot pilot, adventurer, and part time smuggler.

At his side is Rafael (Jesus) Olmedo, the sharp-witted, fearless son of a Cuban shipping magnate. Quick with a grin and quicker with the girls, Jesús is the kind of man who gets into trouble just to see if he can get back out again. Together, the two have made a life out of teasing danger. Running missions for Don Emilio one day and ferrying contraband under the nose of the Japanese Navy the next.

But all that changes when fate delivers them Aiko Himura, a Japanese princess on the run from her own empire. Hidden behind her grace and composure lies a secret that could ignite the Pacific and make her both the most valuable and the most hunted woman in the world. Bound by honor and attraction, Mark takes on the impossible: to deliver Aiko safely to a mysterious island sanctuary whispered about in her grandmother's stories. A paradise beyond maps, known only as Gaua.

From the neon harbors of Hong Kong to the steamy jungles of Indochina, from hidden colonial forts to the shark-infested waters of the Coral Sea, The Brooklyn becomes their lifeline. A gleaming twin-float seaplane with four roaring engines and a crew driven by loyalty, courage, and a hint of madness. As they dodge assassins, warlords, and the tightening net of the Japanese Empire, Mark and Aiko discover a fragile connection that defies duty and nationality, shadowed by the coming storm.

The Jade Princess captures the world on the brink. A world of smoke-filled bars, secret radio transmissions, and heroes who live between borders. Sweeping in scope and cinematic in its storytelling, it's a tale of adventure, sacrifice, and the relentless pull of destiny set against the last golden days before the world plunged into war.

For readers who love the daring romance of Casablanca, the intrigue of The English Patient, and the high-flying adventure of Tales of the Gold Monkey . . . The Jade Princess will carry you across the Pacific skies and into the heart of an adventure sure to become legend.

Autorenporträt

Hello, my name is Fabio Tagliasacchi. As a professor of mathematics, I spend my days immersed in a world of numbers, equations, and confused college students. But when the academic day ends, and I am not busy shopping with my wife, Rita, or enjoying my children and grandchildren, my creative mind takes over, and I put on my cape as an independent author. I have built a collection of excellent novels, if I say so myself. I assure you each one has been a grand journey that has given me great pleasure to write.

A Whimsical Approach

When I'm deep into writing the next installment of my Ghost Commando or Mark Diamond series and the muse decides to pack her bags and head out for an extended vacation, I have a unique coping mechanism. While others might turn to a self-destructive binge of mind-altering substances or a new physical obsession . . . like setting up a permanent residence in a local gym . . . I opt for a much more practical and, frankly, fun approach. I simply hop from one book to another. Which in turn means that I have two, sometimes three, books in the works at various stages at all times.

This is how I ended up writing a military thriller series (Ghost Commando), a children's fantasy (Kentucky Greens), a divine fantasy with angels and cowboys (Whispers), an adventure series (Mark Diamond), a fictional biography of my family (Immigrant), and, most recently, a horror anthology of short stories (Nightmares).

Some might call this erratic and chaotic, but for me, it's a strategy. By jumping between different genres and themes, I keep my mind in a constant state of creative churn. The change of pace and topic is often all it takes to reignite my inspiration, brings the muse out of hibernation, and keep my keyboard humming.

Plus, it has the added benefit of keeping me out of a whole lot of trouble!

Whichever of my novels you end up reading, know that it is your pleasure in doing so that drives me.

PS Thank you for supporting me. Fabio
