This book tells a story about a part of WWII that we don't ever hear about. Part war story and part love story, it tells about a reporter who goes undercover in order to cover the war in the Aleutians. After surviving his plane's crash onto an island occupied by the Japanese, John Easley struggles to survive and avoid detection, while in Seattle, his wife, plots to find a way to find him, altho no one can confirm if he is dead or alive.
I often say that we will never run out of tales about unknown stories from this war that affected all who lived thru it as well as generations to follow. This book was hard to put down.

I was very interested in the story background (WWII battles with the Japanese in the Aleutians in Alaska) as I had never heard of any actual battles on American soil. I also thought the main characters had a powerful story to tell. Unfortunately, I did not particularly enjoy reading this. Didn't care for the writer's short, clipped writing style. I did finish the book, however, because I wanted to give it a fair chance to "grab" me. Never happened and I didn't care much for the ending either. I still think the storyline is interesting, just not the way it's presented.
