Description
Jake Jacobs is back in this gripping 20th-century military spy thriller that reveals complex themes with contemporary repercussions.
"The third book in the Full Measure Trilogy does not fail to excite! From General Douglas MacArthur's quote to the explosive ending, this novel both entertains and enlightens the reader regarding the US Military after Vietnam. Well written and spellbinding." - Scott
It's 1977, and Jake Jacobs -- a decorated Green Beret, family man, and man of faith -- has returned to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point as an instructor. He soon discovers that the institution is changing, driven by the winds of political whims and shifting national culture. Jake wonders if West Point can remain true to its mission and provide the nation with the same continuity of military leadership as in the past, or will all the academies become a casualty of the Capital Beltway?
Meanwhile, rumors are circling about an American-born Soviet spy who could be the most dangerous traitor the nation has ever experienced. Jake is promoted and assigned to investigate who the mole may be. Rumors quickly become facts, and things quickly become personal. It is Jake's duty to take action, regardless of the cost, and find the secret agent. It's not only his duty to the nation, the Army, and his men, but a reckoning for a spine-chilling personal loss.
The more Jake uncovers, the more ruthless his target becomes. Now someone is assassinating corrupt politicians and labeling them domestic enemies, adding to the mystery. Jake's dogged pursuit takes him to Afghanistan, Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada, and the most dangerous environment -- the halls of Capitol Hill.
If the trilogy's first two books were a rollercoaster ride, Thundering White Crosses accelerates the ride and exhilarates the reader with compelling twists and turns.
Thundering White Crosses is a must-read for readers who enjoy fictional military novels, historical fiction, Christian fiction, war, crime, and action thrillers.
This is the latest release and final book in the popular series "A Full Measure."
Available in Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and paperback.
Praise for Thundering White Crosses
"As a former resident of West Point, I can honestly say Mr. Patton's trilogy describes the true bonds established at West Point that I saw firsthand at the Military Academy. "Thundering White Crosses" kept me on the edge of my seat, a truly enjoyable read. I highly recommend all three books of "A Full Measure" trilogy." - Theresa Hogue
"This has been an EXCELLENT set of stories that captures the essence of what going to West Point is like, the transformation into being a leader should be like, and what dedicated service in the Army is all about. The author reminds me a lot of Tom Clancy and his stories --accurate, detailed, realistic--yet the story moves quickly and can be understood from the career officer level to an ordinary citizen seeking to know what the Army and service is all about... We need a voice talking about these issues and concerns while also giving us some entertaining and memorable reminders of the past we have all faced! Just an excellent job! Duty, Honor, Country!' - Joe Boylan
"This is an exceptional page-turning read that keeps the reader enraptured throughout. This book is the capstone of a memorable, readable trilogy... I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages." - Jim Roth
"Thundering White Crosses is an extraordinary conclusion to the extraordinary trilogy, A Full Measure!! J.M. Patton accurately describes the political and military lay of the land of this era. From the battlefield to the halls of Congress, this novel will keep you spellbound to the last word. - Steve Foust, MSgt USAF (Ret)
