Bay of One Hundred Fires, the new novel by retired Houston attorney (and my former mentor) J. Lanier Yeates, is “a frighteningly realistic geopolitical thriller that cannot be put down.” Or so says one distinguished commentator–namely yours truly, who was lucky enough to read it in manuscript form.
In addition to being an attorney, “On active duty in the United States Navy during the Vietnam years, J. Lanier Yeates served aboard the guided-missile destroyer, USS Mitscher before joining the pre-commissioning unit of the nuclear-powered cruiser, USS California, where he supervised the installation of the ship’s hightech, long-range, air-search radar system.” Order your copy today–!
In Bay of One Hundred Fires, author J. Lanier Yeates weaves a chilling tale of what Saddam Hussein might have done with the deadly weapons many believed he had. [A] poor Cuban family from Cienfuegos is swept into a battle between the Navy and a global terror network. To complement its firepower and 21st century technology, the Navy calls on a young lieutenant commander and maverick CIA analysts.
The Navy has one more weapon to leverage its powerful assets: Hoss Mueller, the skipper of the re-born USS California.
