Publisher: Pocket Books (#1147)

His signature is in the lower right-hand corner.

“Here is a different war novel. It is told from the viewpoint of Lee Caine, a nurse working with the advance platoon of a field hospital, the farthest forward unit of its type. This isnt a pretty story, but it is a gripping onea novel that strips off the so-called glamour of war and leaves the stink, the mud, the slime, and the blood and death that are its very essence. Mistakes are here as well as victories—planes that bomb their own men, cowards who turn tail and run, a surgeon who cracks up in the middle of an operation. Here is a side of war seldom portrayed—and seldom so vividly. Even the armchair adventurer will feel that he has lived in the very vortex of a bloody conflict.The New York Times Book Review

"Darling!" A voice from the past greeted her. Pamela Ware spun around, her heart in her throat.
"You! Doctor Allen!" she whispered.
"Pete, to you, Pam. Just Pete."
"But what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Visiting," he smiled. "A guest like you."
"Oh!" was all Pam could say. Why had he come? She was trembling--her heart throbbed with a dull ache. Pamela Ware said she would never marry a doctor. But that was before she went on vacation; before the accident that gave her life into the hands of an unknown doctor. Afterward, nothing was quite the same. Her head still said "no" but her heart would not listen.

Title: Doctor with a Mission

Then, when things looked darkest, along came Ginny--beautiful, warm, eager to help. She was the one woman he had always dreamed of. And the one woman he could never have ...
