Song of the Solomons: A Bad Situation Made Worse

By E Hunt Augustus

The action, adventure, and absurdity continues in Song of the Solomons - A Bad Situation Made Worse, as the state of affairs on Santa Isabel Island degenerates into a melee that extends well beyond the beaches. Joining the island's coastwatcher, and his scheming sidekicks, are the crews of the Fletcher-class Destroyer, USS Vulcan, a PBY Catalina seaplane dubbed, Lucy-Goosey, with an Admiral, a Marine General and a pair of hapless girlfriends, tossed in for good measure. Pyromaniacs, sight-challenged aviators, fearless native fighters, incompetent, ill-suited, and deranged officers, join the fray in the war-torn South Pacific. The reader will be introduced to a slew of colorful characters who sow chaos and destruction when their miscalculations, unconventional tactics, and misguided operations are subverted by unanticipated consequences, and just plain stupidity. Enjoy this World War Two sideshow from the safety of your favorite reading spot and you will have a rollicking good time.
