Historical Fiction
Date Published: March 12th
Publisher: Acorn Publishing
William Sukara, a gregarious dreamer, emerges from the 1950s an estranged son. In divorce debt and with limited visitation rights as a father, he searches for order in failure. Pursuing self-discipline as an answer, he enlists in the Navy, volunteers for underwater demolition team training, and survives the elite course.
With five other team members, he raises his hand for a clandestine mission, knowing only that it's a “hundred day operation in a warm climate." They are led by a mysterious civilian who alludes that their authorization comes from the Oval Office, and they are to operate with extreme malice. They revolt, escaping under bizarre circumstances.
This is one of those books that quietly pulls you in and then sticks with you after you’re done.
The story feels thoughtful and a bit different from typical Historical Fiction. While the history and time feel prevalent, it’s not just about that, but also about purpose, responsibility, and secrets.
The writing is steady and clear, with some really nice descriptive moments without getting too heavy.
If you enjoy a mystery that keeps you guessing, character growth, and a story that takes its time, it’s definitely worth the read.
