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.

Equal Opportunity Villains

The villains in any story are often more interesting than the hero or heroine. They can be male or female and can possess various levels of villainy. In this excerpt two of our bad guys meet for the first time. One is definitely eviler than the other and I'll let you guess which is which. This is a story filled with villains, heroes, and innocents. My first try at writing a larger story and it can get a little complicated but is still a good story. https://www.jeffreythrallbooks.com/

Book Excerpt

The Reunion

O’Keefe smiled, sliding the envelope over to her. He left it sitting on the table and withdrew his hand. The two of them continued watching each other. Suzanne made no attempt to reach for the envelope.

“Name’s Patrick Sean O’Keefe ma’am, but most people call me Pat or Patty. Other acquaintances call me by other names. I hope you’ll call me Pat.”

O’Keefe held out his hand and smiled. By most standards, O’Keefe was quite handsome. He had a full head of blond hair, blue eyes, and a light complexion. He gained weight over the years, but all things considered, remained in rather good shape for someone forty-five years old. His quick wit and Irish accent made him extremely popular with the ladies wherever he went.

Suzanne took his hand and shook it and the hint of a smile appeared on her face. After releasing her grip, she pulled the envelope to her and counted the money. She looked back up at O’Keefe, “Well, Pat, it’s a pleasure to meet you and to do business with Mr. Osaka. Does he send you to charm all the female contacts he uses?”

O’Keefe laughed, “We didn’t know the contact was a lady, but if we did, I would have been here either way. May I buy you dinner?”
