"Going Home to the Outer Banks" according to Gerald S. Peabody. I read this wonderful book in one day! I've walked the beach, swam the waters, watched the waves and the sunsets on the Outer Banks, and Homer Hickam takes me back there with "The Keeper's Son." The irascible, independent islanders of Hickham's Killikeet are people who live on in my imagination, and that's the sign of a great writer - someone who creates characters so real you're sure they could be part of your life if only you could get inside the pages of a book. But Hickham has gone one better, he's given us a rousing tale of World War II and the courageous islanders who fought off German U-Boats that tried to cripple s.

Other times, though, I was taken aw

From Publishers Weekly A gutsy Coast Guard officer battles German submarines and 17 years of unfettered guilt on the North Carolina coast in 1941 and 1942 in this high adventure yarn. Hickam provides a vivid and convincing portrayal of life under the sea in a U-boat, as well as on the surface in a fragile patrol boat. This is the first novel of a planned series about rough and tumble Coast Guard Lt. Josh, 31, is a career officer assigned to Killakeet Island, along North Carolina's treacherous Outer Banks. His patrol boat is small and ill-equipped, and his crew is a wacky group of casual islanders who aren't sure they really want to fight anybody. Josh must fight both, as well as his suspicions that his little brother may not be dead after all; the reappearance of a childhood
