Asheboro, NC Author Publishes New Book

Steel Heroes, a new book by Brian J. Isaac, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Steel Heroes is more than a book about men and ships during the great struggle of World War II. It is also about their loves and their families.

You will meet handsome Lt. Commander Frank Butcher, the new commander of the new USS Destroyer Escort Kenneth B. Cutler, and his beautiful girlfriend, Lori Mary Johnson. You will also meet equally handsome bachelor and new second-in-command, Derrick Patterson, ever the playboy, and see how the lovely nurse JoAnn Cassidy wins his heart.

On the other side of the world, at a Japanese shipyard, is the crew of the imperial Japanese Navy's new destroyer, Akihirum. Among the crew celebrating their new ship is Lt. Samidio. He is a strong leader, but he's worried about the war and about his family-as his homeland is now in range of the dreaded B-29s. With him is his loyal friend, Acting Sub Lt. Kaneda, who is handsome but naïve, and who is willing to die for his Emperor.

These two ships will cross paths, and what will happen when they do? What will happen to Derrick's lady, JoAnn, when she is captured and made to help a wounded Japanese officer? Will Frank marry Lori before he is off to war? What will happen to the Kenneth B. Cutler and her crew when they run across the whole Japanese fleet at the battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle in history?
