Jennifer Haraldsson Sherman is now a Wife and Mother. She is
also an Army Nurse serving in the Washington, DC area. With Vietnam
heating up, she is uncomfortable thinking of the young Americans
who will be going there to fight and die. She feels an obligation
to once again serve her country, but she knows she will have to get
the approval of her family first.
In Eastern Germany, Jennifer's old flame, Otto Bruner, is
working hard for German reunification. He has to be careful,
though, as his bosses in East Germany believe Communism is the way
to go. Underneath, Otto strongly disagrees. One only has to compare
the standard of living between East and West Germany to know that
Otto's secret feelings are correct.
In this fascinating and hair-raising story, the author lays out
the many challenges that are inherent in one of the most exciting
periods in the history of the United States. As he did with
previous novels in the series, the author ties the challenges faced
by the leading characters with the most powerful people of the era.
The novel includes U.S. Presidents from John F. Kennedy to George
Herman Walker Bush. The result is a thriller with many twists and
turns which brings the key surviving characters together in what
can truly be considered the end of an era. This book is a must-read
for all those who love a gripping story.
After thirty years, Brigadier General Carolyn McKenzie Marshall
is retiring and leaving the US Army behind. She's proud of her
accomplishments, especially the formation and training of the first
women's jump program in the army. Though looking forward to a new
life in Hawaii, she's sad to leave her sisters behind, including
her replacement, Col. Dora Aimsley. The two have been through a lot
together.
But just three days into retirement, one of Carrie's past
exploits comes back to haunt her and her fellow sisters. Ten years
ago, the Sheikh managed to escape destruction when Dora blew up the
building in which he and his cohorts were hiding. Now, the Sheikh
has returned to exact revenge on Dora and the team who caused him
to lose money and face.
The Sheikh means business. Even so, Dora foils his hijacking
attempt on the Pope's airplane, and the Sheikh retaliates by
kidnapping Dora's twin daughters and Carrie. Dora's training kicks
in and with the help of her fellow sisters tries to save her
friend, her family, and herself.
