Description
The only sound in Havana Harbor the night of February 15, 1898, were whining generators aboard the U.S.S. Maine. At 21:40 hours, a double explosion ripped her apart, sending her to the bottom with 260 of her 355-man crew. Soon after, Congress approved war with Spain.
Now, 76 years later, Admiral Hyman Rickover opens a new investigation into the sinking of the Maine. While pretending to cooperate, the National Security Agency secretly seeks to find and destroy the diary that would expose truth about what happened that night: a diary written onboard the Maine the day it was destroyed.
What’s that got to do with Tony April? Cruising down a four-lane highway, in his black Mustang Mach I, he receives a phone call putting him on a dark road with the National Security Agency. Soon he’s in deep, searching for the lost diary wanted by NSA, a beautiful woman, and nefarious others. It all leads to a 16th century map, the diary of a dead man, and the curse of Atahualpa, murdered leader of the Incas.
Travel with Tony April as he ventures into a world of espionage only you can enjoy. Tony’s too busy fighting the bad guys.
Advance Praise
"""From action and adventure, to mystery and romance - this novel has it all! I felt like I was with the characters through the whole journey; whether they were in the North End, or on the expedition through Ecuador. A great page turner and story!"" Carrie Hill
""You would think this first-time author had already penned several books.
His subject matter flows along smoothly and certainly holds the reader's
interest. Reportedly there is a second novel in the offing and if only
half as good as the first would definitely be worth reading."" CJBork"

Conspiracies have always surround the sinking of the battleship Maine. In False Flag, history and fiction are mixed expertly to entertain and educate.

In Havana Harbor on a night in 1989 the USS Maine blew up. Dr Gregory Anderson was on the ship docked next to it. He was going to Ecuador to get medicine from trees to help fight Malaria. Now 76 years later his granddaughter working with Admiral Hyman Rickover is trying to recover her grandfather's remains from Ecuador. There seem to be a number of people who are interested in the diary believed to be buried with him. She hires Tony April to take her there because he had been in the area when he was in the service. Some are after Inca gold believed to be in the same area they are going to but Miss Anderson has made it clear she is not after the gold. An interesting story which moves along fairly quick and is sure to keep your interest.

I've always been a huge history buff! I really love reading about real people and how they navigated the world around them, making it better or worse. I also love finding myself catapulted into a fictional version of history, like in False Flag, for example. It was a slow burn HF, for me, and I found myself wishing for more. Not that the author left things unsaid, but that I didn't want it to end when I reached those final pages. The suspense built throughout was immaculate. As I read my brain kept itching for answers, with so many twists and turns throughout! I am definitely adding Jay Barrett to my "author watch" list!
