Críticas
"Hickam builds a story of overcoming obstacles...[an] eloquent evocation of a lost time and place."--The New York Times"Fantastic characters and a suspenseful, race-along plot."--The Washington Post"The Keeper's Son is both beautifully written and nerve-wrackingly suspenseful... A home run." --Nelson DeMille"A novel of adventure and romance set on this imaginary isle of wild horses, offbeat townsfolk and the colorful crew of a Coast Guard patrol boat...[a] page-turning story of loss, courage, and providence."--The Wall Street Journal "Well-crafted characters, gripping naval warfare and colorful island life come together in this dynamic and exciting tale."-Publishers Weekly"Hickam brings it all off flawlessly...making the reader believe extraordinary events are indeed possible."--Roanoke Times"[An] irresistibly romantic WWII adventure...certain to seduce armchair sailors."--Kirkus Reviews"In this excellent story of World War II on the Outer Banks, Hickam deftly crafts a romantic, even melodramatic story...the pacing, the building of character with carefully chosen detail, and the masterful construction of a setting...evokes with great skill a time and a place that is passing out of living memory."--Booklist"With this book, Hickam expands his range...into the realm of fiction in a compelling novel of war, romance, haunting guilt, victory. Thrilling." --Robert Morgan, bestselling author of Gap Creek and Brave Enemies"Hickam's recollections of small-town America...are so cinematic that even those of us who didn't grow there imagine we did."--The Philadephia Inquirer
Reseña del editor
Haunted by inner demons, Josh Thurlow returns home to Killakeet Island to command a small Coast Guard patrol boat manned by a colourful crew of locals. Dominating the glorious beauty of the little island is the majestic Killakeet Lighthouse, kept for generations by the Thurlow family. Its presence is a continuing reminder to Josh of the mysterious loss of his baby brother at sea seventeen years before, a tragedy for which he was blamed. But Josh is convinced that his brother might still be alive and begins searching for him even after German U-boats arrive and soak the beaches with blood. Josh's quest puts him in the path of Otto Krebs-the most audacious of the U-boat commanders and a deadly enemy who may also hold the answers Josh is seeking. But when he meets Dosie Crossan, a young woman fighting her own war against the invaders, Josh must decide whether to risk all on a love that could destroy him - or redeem him...
