GOODYEAR, Ariz., Aug. 14, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- There is no denying the fact that change happens unexpectedly. Most of the time, people are unprepared for it and when it happens we have no choice but to adjust ourselves to it. This is the theme that drives an enduring tale of love and duty as told in Deceptive Rogue, the dramatic new book authored by Herman Adams.
Deceptive Rogue follows the exploits of a pilot named Richard. The story begins when, after going through intensive training for upcoming missions in the Vietnam War, Richard learns that his wife got hospitalized due to back problems. To his surprise, he is listed for the next trip going home, making it one of the fastest turnarounds he had in his career. At home, he spends quality time with his wife and family. Although Richard has only one flying mission on his record, he realizes that he spent so much time away from home and begins to enjoy his stay. Then one day, he receives orders to return to duty, this time to an Air Force base in Thailand -- a development that frustrates his wife. Acknowledging family concerns, he is forced to cross train into another field even though he discovers that the job is hard. He selects the Open Mess Career Field. Will this new job bring him and his family new happiness or will it ruin him entirely? Read the book to find out.
