Tale for the Lion
Description
Carl's story of wartime drama is a fantastic tale but is not for the squeamish. WWII was a time when ordinary young men from across the globe descended into great evil, literally becoming monsters who walked the earth. The horrors of combat form the backdrop of his story, as he faces loneliness and stress just trying to survive. He feels that any attempt to clean up his story will make it a lie. In an unexpected twist, Carl is witnessed to by an elderly fisherman and has his come-to-Jesus moment. Now a born-again Christian, he survives the Nazi surrender but is captured by the Russians and serves five years imprisonment in a Soviet prison camp. In another twist, he becomes an atomic age spy for the US and escapes to America.

Person
David moved to Maine over thirty years ago, after college. He has studied martial arts for years and holds a high degree black belt. A veteran of over 20 medical mission trips to the Dominican Republic, he is also a Sunday School teacher, an avid photographer, and an obsessive reader. Having consumed over 5,000 books by his own estimate, David felt it was time to give back and write his own book at last. He and his wife, Peg, have a grown son. Peg read an early draft of his first book and said it sounded like it was written by a Sunday School teacher who read too many detective novels. Truth in advertising.
