Roseanna's Reply
Reading Roseanna s Reply is like taking a drink of water out of a fire hydrant. --Capt. James A. Lovell, Astronaut and Mission Commander, Apollo 13Roseanna's Reply is a WWII era novel based on historical fact that blends famous wartime personalities (Jimmy Doolittle, Ronald Reagan, William Randolph Hearst, Howard Hughes, to name a few) with the book s principal characters in a fascinating manner. With America s WWII aviation industry as backdrop, the book is an action/mystery/espionage story that I think will appeal to a wide audience. There is a lot of information about WWII and the Mustang that is not well known. It s a good read that will keep your interest till the last page. --C. E. "Bud" Anderson, Colonel USAF (Ret.), WWII Triple Ace and author of To Fly and FightWhat Tom Clancy did for submarines, Frank Johnson has done for the P-51 Mustang. His story telling takes you as close to aerial combat as you should hope to get. Roseanna's Reply is a love-and-war epic that celebrates the grand virtues of a bygone era. It s a big story, powerfully told, of a troubled young woman who finds the courage to embrace the warrior within. But it is also a tale of WWII intrigue that takes the reader from the blacked-out streets of L.A. to savage combat in the skies above Europe, with many vivid stops in between. Its inspiration is the fractious and fascinating history of the P-51 Mustang itself, which emerged from obscurity to become the most famous and important fighter of WWII. --Michael Colleary, writer and film producer, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Face Off
