Flying Boats & Spies by Jamie Dodson (original cover art by Ben Stahl) is a softcover book, 239 pages in length. It is 1935 and the winds of war have begun to fan the flames of conflict across the Pacific. As Nick Grant tries to support his mother and sister during the Depression, he's swept into a deadly contest between spies struggling to control the Pacific Ocean.
Nick's life abruptly changes the moment Anne Lindbergh offers him a month's wages to deliver a mysterious map case to Bill Grooch aboard the tramp steamer the SS North Haven.
Desperate for money, Nick agrees. Suddenly the map case and Grooch catapult him into a quiet, but deadly cat and mouse game between US and Japanese spies. Nick becomes a vital player in a mission spanning the Pacific Ocean: a mission vital to US security as well as a mortal danger to Japan.

- Flying Boats and Spies nails it! I have sailed those
waters,
lived some of Nick Grant's adventures, and shared the very skies he
flew. Jamie
Dodson got it all right with a page-turning story that took me back to
my youth
and Pacific adventures that others only dream about. Grab this book
before
someone else does. And bring shark repellent... you'll forget it's not you
in the
book.
