There Was War in the East by Tom Gauthier

Major Amos Mead, USMC, is on his way home from the mission that saved the secret of Orion’s Eye. He meets and falls in love with a woman who will play an unusual role in his life when he is thrown into a new and unexpected assignment with the OSS. These new circumstances thrust Mead violently back into the war, into enemy territory, and force him to endure a trek from Burma to China marked by death and survival to pursue his mission – a mission that evolves beyond his knowledge by the intrigues of corrupt officials that may include the Vice President of the United States. This story of romance, action, intrigue, and tragedy is drawn from the history of a chapter in the War known well to those who were there, and not so well to the rest of Americans.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT MEAD’S TREK

“The writing is sharp and powerful and pulsates with the author’s passion for recreating historical events as seen through the eyes of a fictional character. (Mead’s Trek) has a powerful thematic core, allowing the reader opportunities to witness the nature and consequences of war, human endurance and heroism . . . a most exciting novel written with a real flare for high adventure and history.”

“Anyone ready to read some World War II fiction? Would you like to focus on the Asian theatre instead of Europe? If so, Mead's Trek by Tom Gauthier should be on your list. This novel is the second with main character Amos Mead at the forefront. Don't worry if you have never heard of Amos. Gauthier writes Mead's Trek in such a way that you can jump right in. But I'll warn you now that after you read this book, you'll want to go back and read Code Name: Orion's Eye, the first Amos Mead novel, if you haven't already.”

“ . . . The conclusion of the book is an eye-opener. I have read many books about WWII but, never one that takes place solely in this area (Burma/China). My thing was always the European Theater of Operations. Until I read Mead's Trek I didn't really know a lot about the Japanese, except for Pearl Harbor and the Philippines. Now, thanks to Mr. Gauthier, I have a new understanding of their importance in what happened in WWII and also the wars that followed. The author has done his homework and the book is very interesting because it's about real people and what they went through in that war. I highly recommend this book to readers who are interested in the history of World War II. Even though Mead's Trek is listed as fiction, these characters are very real and you can imagine them going through the horrible things that they saw. I intend to find a copy of Orion's Eye simply to see what went on before for Major Mead and friends. Thanks to Mr. Gauthier for a very interesting and informative read.

“ . . . On the whole, this book deserves the attention of all the people who like historical novels. The author has done his homework concerning the events that occurred in Southeast Asia toward the end of World War Two. He is familiar with all the popular movements existing in each of the countries his characters passed through and, especially for Vietnam, he shows plainly the particular circumstances that allowed him to draw the conclusions he did in his epilogue. All that detailed information is cleverly woven into a suspenseful adventure combined with a budding romance which titillates our mind and warms our heart.”

“Gauthier weaves a compelling story of intrigue, action and romance . . .”
