"The Last of the Greatest Generation"
 
Author J. Robert Gould was our guest speaker at the Orlando reunion banquet. His speech was riveting and brought many of us to tears.  His novel reveals a tale set in modern times in his first book, The Last of the Greatest Generation.  It's a great mystery novel wrapped up in a World War II international story, created in two timelines with parallel love stories and an alcoholic reporter with a nose of a good plot.
 
Featuring the USS TICONDEROGA (CV-14), nations collide as the last living World War II veteran races against time to share the harrowing secrets he's held on to for half a century. When fate steps in to disrupt his plans, the story takes on a fast-paced, masterful turn as the truth emerges, secret by secret, that will change history.
