The Rigel
Affair
Abandoned by his part-Cherokee Ma, Charlie
Kincaid escapes servitude with his uncle. He jumps a boxcar, accompanied by his
schoolmate Roxy, who is escaping troubles of her own. Charlie becomes a US Navy
Diver.
Mattie Blanc is from a genteel New Zealand
family. But when her brother’s friend persuades her to take a ride, it all goes
horribly wrong. Desperate, she flees her family’s stifling expectations for a
new life in Auckland.
After the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, Charlie
sets sail for Auckland aboard the USS Rigel.
And there she is, the girl of his dreams. Mattie is everything that Roxy
isn’t—sophisticated, tender, and patient. But the war intervenes… Rigel embarks for the Pacific war zones.
Charlie’s letters are sporadic. Mattie is tormented
by doubts; did he truly love her, or was it only a dream?
The Rigel
Affair produces a rip-roaring wartime romance and
chilling danger unknown to most.
