Into the Pacific Fog: World War II Comes to San Francisco

by Henry Eason

In the months after Pearl Harbor, the California coast was wide open to invasion by Japanese forces. A woman-led German, Italian and Japanese spy ring went into action, sabotaging American military efforts and spying on the U.S. Naval maneuvers off the West Coast. An aging Nob Hill gossip columnist with a World War I espionage background was recruited to hunt the Axis Powers' spies. The ragtag band of American counter-intelligence agents develop and run an operation that stops a Japanese invasion.

I've known the author, Henry Eason for a long time, so it was with anticipation of a good read that I purchased and read Into the Pacific Fog. I wasn't disappointed. The author's journalism expertise shows in his thoroughly researched and investigated settings, history of the war in that specific place, and in the development of the characters. From the beautiful Kara, to the manly Hunter, the characters are drawn not just from the imagination, but knowing Henry Eason, from his own life experiences. The description of San Francisco and the many small towns and nooks and crannies in the area made me want to go there. It's a good read. - David W. Wooddell
