Riassunto

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 Honor, and an ambassador's son, who was now missing in the thick, jungled climes of the Solomons.

And 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. Accompanied by a tormented and frail PT-boat commander named Shafty, Josh and his ragtag crew will face their most devil-may-care mission yet. With echoes of James Michener, The Ambassador's Son is a thrilling tale of the South Pacific and adventure fiction at its finest.
