This is a "must read" for those living within 100 miles of the Georgia coast! Published as adult fiction, and beginning only a year following the horrors of 9/11, “Lost Nuke” is a suspenseful continuation in the lives of the author’s retired medical couple who were brought forward as protagonists from the author’s earlier novels. Retired surgeon, Dr. Mark Telfair and abundantly sexy wife, Anne, a retired surgical nurse, manage to have their second attempt at a tranquil retirement on the rural Georgia coast disrupted. Unexpectedly they find themselves involved with the FBI Counterterrorism Division and soon join others in a covert search for an unexploded 3.8 megaton Mark-15 hydrogen bomb reportedly jettisoned into the shallow waters Wassaw Sound near Savannah, Georgia and Tybee Island. Prepublication readers have found the book humorous at times, a sensual doctor-nurse love story at others, but mostly they've found it“scary” when it is learned a Syrian terror cell is also searching for the lost nuclear bomb. For those on the Georgia coast, and finding it “scary,” it seems their concern is largely rooted in their own prior knowledge that the initial story is based on a very true event … the unintentional loss of a yet-to-be-found intact nuclear weapon, still code-phrased as a remaining “Broken Arrow” by the United States Air Force. In fiction, here is a fast-paced dramatic ending many readers will not anticipate.
