I’m pleased to announce a project unlike I’ve ever done before. Together with bestselling thriller writer Jack Patterson, I’ve embarked on a new history-bending series which will rock your speculative imagination. THE FÜHRER’S DAUGHTER is an alternate history series of ebooks presented very much like a television series. I’ll explain about how this works later, but first let me tell you about the story, straight from the back cover:
As a writer who spends a great deal of time in my home office, I often don’t realize what my office mate is doing. That’s primarily because he’s usually snoozing while I’m attacking the keyboard with the latest manuscript, etc.
But every now and then, he will sneak by and do something completely unexpected, then return back to his “dormant” state. One of those things is to steal a snack from the table while I’m not watching.

Suffice it to say this person is one of today’s biggest name writers, with so many titles published they took up a both walls of a long hallway, the shelves of which climbed from floor to ceiling.

What was it like to be a Chinese Man serving in the US Marine Corps, fighting against the Communist Chinese troops during the Korean War? I can only imagine the challenges Major Lee confronted among his own people. Back in the 1940’s we as Americans were perhaps not as culturally sensitive, nor did everyone place diversity–the strength of our nation–as something as important as we do today.
Inside his unit, Lee faced racial slurs like “Chinese laundry” or “The Chinaman.” But the source of his discrimination proved to be crucial in saving the lives of his fellow Marines.
I wonder how I would handle not just the racial slurs, but the distrust and perhaps even suspicion of my colleagues in life and death situations as war. Could the fraternity of his fellow Marines overcome the bigotry of certain individuals with whom he served?
