RMCS(SS) Mike Ellis USN Ret. has written a book "Apollo Rises". Visit his website for more info and ordering information. "During the Cold War, an unconventional petty officer travels a dangerous course."

"Two Americans, one civilian, one navy enlisted man, are drawn into the hard-boiled underworld of early 20th Century Japan as they investigate the grisly discovery of three severed human heads adrift in an open boat belonging to a missing ship. Their exploration of the seedy side of the Asiatic Fleet exposes brutal violence and betrayal lurking in unexpected quarters. Blending the historical authenticity of Patrick O'Brian with the crackling narrative and dialogue of Raymond Chandler, Crossland establishes himself as a unique voice in nautical fiction."   $17.95 where better books are sold. Or online at Jade Rooster or Amazon.com.
