As World War II rages, love and war are waged on an equal footing.
Whether in the pine forests of eastern Texas or the Japanese
occupied South Pacific jungles, John Peak Sims must fight for
survival on both fronts.
Often relying on his self-deprecating wit and wisdom, Sims spent
the years before Pearl Harbor playing college football for Southern
Methodist University in Dallas and fending off sexy co-eds while
trying to stay true to his girlfriend back home. But in June of
1942, Sims enters the U.S. Naval Reserve and becomes a member of
the elite Sundowner Squadron.
As a fighter pilot in the Pacific, he discovers that overcoming
the atrocities of a cruel enemy requires a similar fortitude to
surviving the vicissitudes of a love triangle. But as the war draws
to a close, Sims will face the ultimate test of his loyalty-and his
heart.
"Goodbye Sims Goodbye Takeo" artfully blends honest fact and
earnest fiction around the life of real-life hero and
collegiate-football-star-turned-fighter pilot, John Peak Sims. John
Anderson Norman pens a powerful World War II novel that brilliantly
captures the harsh reality of warfare with the intensity of human
emotion.
