Query: Enjoyable Read - Suspension of Disbelief Required, However

I read and thoroughly enjoyed Hickman's previous Josh Thurlow book, "The Keeper's Son." (By all means, read it first.) I was looking forward to the sequel. This one is not quite as good as the first book, but enough action to keep the pages turning. If possible, I'd give it 4 1/2 stars.I do have to say that I did have to suspend disbelief on several occasions as Hickman tried too hard to work two famous real life characters into the book. We spend a lot of time with John F. Kennedy, who joins Thurlow's crew after PT-109 is sunk. And Richard Nixon makes a couple of appearances as well. It's true that they both served in the Armed Forces in the Pacific Theater during World War II, but the story would have worked just as well without them. If you can overlook this stretch, and liked "The Keeper's Son," this book will not disappoint.
