Story Behind The Book

The author's father served as a naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier Lexington during World War II. While touring the boat, which is moored in Corpus Christi, the author had a thought. This monument to the US naval power is an easy target for anyone wanting to make a real terroristic statement since it is unprotected at its berth. After leaving the tour, he then went about putting a story together which made such a move plausible. The Lexington did serve as the inspiration for constructing the terrorist plot that unfolds in My GRL
