Produktbeschreibung
His family imprisoned on a visit to Japan, Mark Ishihara is ordered to the family fish processing plant across the bay from America's only military base in Alaska's Aleutian Islands. With the planned bombing of Pearl Harbor only months away, his job is to spy for Japan, as they prepare to seize American territory. Mark's blood brother, U.S. Army pilot Chad Gritt is sent to the same island as part of a secret American intelligence group. The two men are forever tied by a terrible accident that killed each of their brothers. Their childhood trauma makes Chad a recluse and Mark the life of the party, each struggling to connect with the women they care about. The two reunite only miles from the accident site, each spying for the other side. As the war breaks out, Mark's Japanese face is as welcome in Dutch Harbor as a rattlesnake at a party; but if he leaves, his parents die. Simultaneously, the American government begins rounding up its Japanese American citizens, worried that some are spies. Some like Mark are. But after finally disclosing his dilemma to his blood brother, the question is, for which side? Personal and nationalistic loyalties tear at relationships as war slams into the North Pacific.

Autorenporträt
RODGER CARLYLE is a pilot, political strategist, ghostwriter and novelist who writes both thrillers and historical fiction. He likes to find historic events that are ignored or covered up by the powerful when some strategy or plan goes completely to hell, and from there creates an adventure that often tells a more complete story than traditional history...one that the reader just has to finish. Rodger's thrillers are drawn from current events and conflicts such as the rekindled Cold War or US-Iranian hostilities. From there he develops a story that shows just how brutal unfinished business can be.The heroes in his stories are ordinary people pushed to do extraordinary things that other writers might hand off to a superhero. Like in Rodger's life, that includes a heightened passion that comes with life threatening events and periods of conflict.Rodger is comfortable in black tie urban settings but is never happier than in the wilderness. As a world traveler, he's faced down muggers in San Francisco, intimidation by the Russian Mafia, and charging grizzly bears. Most of his stories take readers to places they will never visit. He likes to think that he is there with them. More at rodgercarlyle.com.
