À propos de cet e-book

Toes of Apollo is an exciting nautical adventure dramatizing the best and the worst about the U.S. Coast Guard. Its the Caine Mutiny on steroids! Lt. (jg) Tom Stierwell, a twenty-two year old office falls in love with the beautiful daughter of Captain Kearse, an out-of-control commanding officer on the Coast Guards Albatrosss, a unique mystery ship operating in the Eastern Mediterranean, six-thousand miles from the USA. The location is on land and ashore in tumultuous Greece where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood, where religion and greed are a deadly reality on an island of Muslim minarets and the rebuilt castle of Christian crusaders.
