synopsis

Synopsis

Ray Summers and Bill Gateway found it hard to believe it was going to be 50 years since the end of World War II. They had become lifelong friends on a beach in the Philippines during that turbulent time. Even though they lived on opposite sides of the country, the distance didn’t keep them from staying in touch and watching each other’s families grow. A reunion with their WWII military unit would be a great opportunity to get old comrades together to celebrate and remember a time when they were all part of history. They hoped all their planning would culminate in a reunion to remember. Little did they realize this reunion would involve a change in plans so drastic it would put all of them in harm’s way one more time. It would take one of their highly decorated, military sons to help bring them all home safely and keep several countries from going to war. This is an adventure story whose pages are interwoven with bravery, treachery, and political intrigue.

This is my first 'Book Bubble' of the New Year and I can't tell you how happy I am to be doing this. I have always enjoyed telling stories and writing, though I didn't always take time to do it. Life seemed to get in the way. Now that I'm on the other end of that life I'm taking the time to get back to storytelling. Enjoy my first book, 'The Reunion', and please take time to read my second book, 'The Superintendent', published by Lulu, and my third book, 'The Retirement', published by Bublish. Wishing all of my family, friends and readers a very Happy New Year. https://www.jeffreythrallbooks.com/

The Reunion

While Summers watched the procession go by, one of the SEAL squad leaders pulled up behind him in a jeep. Summers RTO got into the vehicle, joining Captain Sanchez in the back. When the truck carrying Gateway and his family passed the retired general looked down at the officer and saluted. Becky looked over the side of the truck as they passed watching the man standing there. She thought she saw him wink at her. He was deliberately trying to irritate her, but she couldn’t figure out why. When the truck carrying the Smith’s passed the reverend shouted a thank you to Summers, calling him by name. Summers smiled back at the man and waved.
