Críticas
"Great war novels are often great adventure novels, too, and Homer Hickam's "The Ambassador's Son" qualifies on both counts. This fast-moving tale of action, intrigue, and romance in the Solomon Islands during World War II is filled with fascinating characters and vivid backgrounds. Hickam is one of the best yarn-spinners in the business, but more than that, he is an author whose work creates a genuine emotional resonance in the reader." - James Reasoner, author of "The Last Good War" "A beguiling South Seas romance, an epic story of love and loyalty, a richly evoked roman-a-clef about a larger-than-life American legend -- "The Ambassador's Son" is all of this and more. Homer Hickam puts bright, living color to our halftone memories of Jack Kennedy at war." - James D. Hornfischer, author of "The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" ""The Ambassador's Son" is the reason I love to read. It takes you to a place where propellers and tides and bullets decide men's fates and you feel like you're sweating along with the heroes and villains. Homer Hickam is such a good writer that I'd probably read anything that he put out, but this adventure made me feel like a kid again." - Rick Bragg, bestselling author of "All Over But the Shoutin'" "With this tale of the South Pacific, Homer Hickam establishes himself as an heir to such greats as James Jones and Herman Wouk. "The Ambassador's Son" is WWII storytelling at its best with plenty of action, exotic surprises and compelling romance."- James Bradley, author of "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Flyboys" "I began Homer Hickam's "The Ambassador's Son" as a skeptic -- and ended it cheering! The tale is pure fantasy -- yet based on a real place, in a real war, involving real people: the Solomon up0Islands in 1943. Fear, courage, cynicism, lust and adrenalin propel this imaginary two-week episode in the young JFK's life...the story is so gripping, you will have to know what happens."- Nigel Hamilton, author of "JFK: Reckless Youth"
Reseña del editor
They had two weeks to accomplish a mission no soldier should ever have to do. They were going after one of their own - David Roosevelt Armistead - a hero up for the Medal of Honour, and an ambassador's son, who was now missing in the thick, jungled climes of the Solomons. So while American forces blast away at one god-forsaken Pacific atoll after another, Coast Guard captain Josh Thurlow must make a desperate venture north into Japanese-held islands.
