The author's wife would like to shamelessly promote his novel. Thanks to the kind help from folks in this forum, I've got my husband's novel up on Smashwords (although still awaiting review/approval for premium catalog) and I'd like to shamelessly promote it. He's creative although somewhat technologically challenged. So I am his ebook manager and he has to jump through my hoops (and don't think I don't take advantage...but I digress).
"East Wind Returns" is a story of World War II set in July-November 1945 which explores a very different road to that conflict's historic conclusion. The American war leaders grapple with a crippling setback: Their secret atomic bomb does not work. The invasion of Japan seems the only option to bring the war to a close. When those leaders suppress intelligence of a Japanese atomic weapon poised against the invasion forces, it falls to John Worth, a young photo reconnaissance pilot, to find the Japanese device. Political intrigue is mixed with exciting aerial action--the terror of enemy fighters, anti-aircraft fire, mechanical malfunctions, deadly weather, and the Kamikaze. When shot down by friendly fire over southern Japan during the American invasion, Worth leads the desperate mission that seeks to deactivate the device.
Hope you'll check out the sample and appreciate any feedback to his first endeavor.
