Rogue Captain de Roger C. Dunham

Rogue Captain

Autor Roger C. Dunham
en Limba Engleză Hardback – aug 2018
The story the Navy wanted to block. How far would a father go to save the life of his daughter? If the father is a highly-decorated commanding officer of a fast-attack nuclear submarine and his beautiful daughter Caroline calls for help, late at night from her pristine yacht in the South China Sea, how far would he go to find her, how far would he go to save her? The words, screaming into the cell phone, horrify him, "Daddy, they're killing everybody and they're coming for me, can you help us? Please, can you save..." before the line goes dead. A father who loves his daughter will do whatever it takes to find her and to save her life. He will search for her even if his career is sacrificed, even if his life is threatened by terrorists and by machinery failures inside his submarine, and even if he may spend the remainder of his life in prison. In the dark of night, quietly through the black waters of Pearl Harbor, his mission begins with a committed skeleton crew…taking him through thousands of miles of ocean as powerful naval forces search for him and seek his destruction. His destination: the waters off Palawan Island in the Philippines. Facing the vicious terrorists who are holding Caroline, he is prepared for battle.... He is ready to bring his daughter home. A warning: once you start this book, it cannot be stopped....

Notă biografică

Roger C. Dunham (website: Rogercdunham.com) was born in Pasadena, California, and following a brief and unremarkable journey through one year of junior college, he joined the United States Navy. After three years of intense training in electronics, nuclear power theory and operations, nuclear reactor prototype procedures, and submarine school, he served as a reactor operator aboard a spy submarine in the Pacific Ocean for another three years. During that time, his experiences created the foundation for his book SPY SUB, published by the Naval Institute Press. Because of the highly classified nature of the story, the Pentagon worked closely to ensure no secrets relating to the finding of a Soviet Submarine in the western Pacific Ocean were ever revealed to the public. After he received his honorable discharge and began premedical studies at the University of Southern California, he was accepted at the UCLA School of Medicine where he graduated in 1975. His internship year at USC-LAC Medical Center in Los Angeles began with one month on the Jail Ward, caring for dangerous wounded and sick prisoners, the experiences of which created the basis for his second book, FINAL DIAGNOSIS. Dr. Dunham and Keiko (celebrating their 50th anniversary this year) have raised two children (a daughter and a son) and he has worked as a physician for 40 years, practicing Primary Care Internal Medicine. The years of his medical practice created the foundation for his third book, SURVIVING MORTALITY published in 2018, bringing readers the challenges faced by many of his patients whose lives were threatened by their own personal impending mortality. Through the doctor's eyes, the desperate efforts by these patients to survive the threats of traumatic forces from nature provide a better understanding for improvement and even a survival from the threats readers may experience as they face their own potential mortality. He began writing ROGUE CAPTAIN in 2014, and with the support of his shipmates and his submarine's commanding officer, as well as others in the Navy, several fathers with daughters, and many of his patients, he completed the book for publication in 2018.
