Autorenporträt
The author was a sailor that spent two years aboard a 'Kilauea Class' Ammunition ship (USS Flint), as a Machinist Mate Petty Officer assigned to 'A' Gang (Auxiliaries), and 'R' Division during three separate 'WESPAC' cruises in the Pacific, South China Seas, Indian Ocean, and other ports west, between March 1973 and March 1975.His earlier novel, 'Victory Liner 504', was written around poems that he wrote while in the Navy, and sets the stage for the current sequel.Following active duty, the author returned to college on the GI Bill, earning a Mechanical Engineering degree (BSE) from Western Michigan University in 1978, and 'Master of Business' MBA degree in 1988, then worked in a variety of Engineering, Marketing, and Management positions prior to starting his own business. As a 'Project Engineer' working for a large manufacturing company in Milwaukee, he spent six years in design, manufacturing, testing, and 'start up' of desalination plants, ASME code pressure vessels, and process equipment for US Navy, marine, and commercial ship applications. Working with the company under a NAVSEA contract, he developed the first Reverse Osmosis Desalination plant for US Navy Combatant ships during the mid 1980's, installed the unit aboard a US Navy Destroyer in Norfolk, Virginia, and rode the ship to Puerto Rico with the crew in 1987 to prove the concept. Jaak Tallinn lives in Wisconsin, and has been self-employed in his own 'Business Development Consulting' company since 1991.
