Of Immortalized Warriors: A Novel
()
About this ebook
Center stage in the novel is the late Captain Theodore Hume, the most decorated warrior in the country. It is his widow who engages Dr. James Isner, an upstart Ivy League economist, and Riley Cooper, a close acquaintance, both former Marines, to write a biography of this lionized but condemned Navy SEAL commando. Dr. Isner is determined to exploit the life of the American hero by advancing his own ideas that point to puzzling features of the United States, of Western culture and, more generally, of mankind's evolution that has up to now not been fully explained. The skeletons in the closet are the independent and inspiring Dotti Moore, Hume's first wife, who leaves him for another man, and a shocking but innovative clandestine mission he heads up in Afghanistan.
A modern-day story of blood and treasure, politics, society, religion, fellowship, and wartime memories of an American hero.
Linkages to Ancient Greece and Rome and former empires of the Middle East are examined?it is Mueller at his best.
A skillfully crafted study of man and of freedom in the world.
OF IMMORTALIZED WARRIORS, Mueller's fourth book, is a poignant military tale, with an exceptional message, and you will love it.
William Mueller
William Mueller was raised in Rochester, New York. He worked for the United States Navy as a program manager and engineer, and after that as a military adviser and policy consultant, but recently returned after over two decades away. He attended the University at Buffalo and American University in Washington, DC. Mueller's novels range from Washington, DC, and Delaware to New York, Miami, London, Italy, Panama, Spain, Germany, and Peru. They are all familiar territory to the author, whose adventures have taken him to the sites where his characters' destinies play out. His most recent work, OF IMMORTALIZED WARRIORS, was written in an attempt to portray the United States in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the divided politics of the period. In addition, the book raises a lot of questions about a lot of different issues of Man and Society. He is also the author of ROME REVISITED, THE NOBLE AMERICAN, and THE MAGNIFICENT MAN.
