Reluctant Assassin

Travel with Nathan Blake to theaters of war during the early days of WWII...from the chilling Atlantic Ocean to London, to Benghazi, to Singapore and more….as he executes his special orders from the U. S. Navy.

  From Tony Bill:, (President of Barnstorm Films),,..Oscar winning producer of the classic movie, "The Sting" with Redford & Newman. He also directed "Flyboys" among others... “The Reluctant Assassin is anything but reluctant in its drive and intrigue. I'm reminded of Tom Clancy's relentless pacing and authentic detail. I especially liked the multiplicity of place: air, land and sea...in and out of boats, airplanes and unexpected locations. Constantly coming at you, it all works. If this book were a movie - and it soon well may be - it'd be in 3D!” 

Ken has been a cadet officer in the British Merchant Navy, a qualified teacher of English & drama, a stage actor & director. He directed a series of Noel Coward plays for National Public Radio, wrote & presented for the BBC, wrote & presented weekly commentaries for Connecticut Public Radio/NPR. His life has been an adventure, from jumping off a cliff with an early hang glider to having a pistol stuck in his mouth in a sleazy bar in Cartagena, Colombia. From fighting a dangerous sea alone to almost being sold as a white slave in Mozambique. From escaping the marriage clutches of a Spanish beauty to being taken in the night from a beautiful pomegranate grove motel and dumped in an Indian village deep inland along the shores of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. He has lived adventures and hopes readers might get that and enjoy reading them in his book.
