"Shades of "South Pacific"! And lo and behold, James Michener is one if the minor characters. I like how Homer Hickam inserts real life historical people in his novels. Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy also play minor and major (respectively) roles. Interesting story line here. I missed Dosie from Kilakeet though. I wonder what is next in The Far Reaches."
"I really could not get into this book. Personally, I found it ridiculous and unbelievable. I don't think an author should take famous people (JFK and Nixon) and create a fictionalized story about them in a time period as important as WWII. JMO"
"I haven't been able to dive right in like all of Homer's other books but when I do read I am enjoying this one. It's a WWII South Pacific war novel so far, but I like Josh Thurlow's character enough to keep on reading!"
"Another novel by Homer Hickam, with characters from "The Keeper's Son." Takes place during WWII and incorporates fictionalized meetings with WWII soldiers John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon."
