Nick
Grant Adventures (Historical Fiction Trilogy & Site)
Jamie Dodson began
writing in earnest his trilogy in 2002. He is a career intelligence officer and
started researching his Pan Am Flying Boat
trilogy while stationed in Hawaii in 1982. His novels are extremely accurate in
terms of events and supporting characters. They reflect the clandestine
espionage war that existed between the United States and Japan prior to World
War Two. Nick Gant and his family, Leilani and her family, and Mac are
fictional. However, everyone else and the major events exist in the
historical record.
