Story Behind The Book

Amos Mead's character developed in the novel &quot;Code Name: ORION'S EYE&quot;, and now blossoms in Gauthier's second historical fiction story from World War Two and the American OSS operations. Mead gets thrust into the little known theater of war - CBI or China Burma India - where front lines of combat are fluid and friends become foes/ foes become friends, as real people lived and died in obscurity. The story touchs the real-life events of 1943-44 that, unknown to most Americans, became the smoldering fuse that exploded into the Vietnam War; a war that as you will learn could have been avoided! The political intrigue is based on fact, surprising fact.
