    About this ebook

    Sanjo, Jack, and Frank are three ex Navy buddies that reunite to skylark, compare notes, and re-evaluate their lives in Topeka-Kansas a couple of decades after being discharged from active duty aboard a ‘WESPAC’ ammunition ship during the Vietnam war. Their mutual fondness for ‘Cassandra’, a working girl from the ‘California Club’ in Olongapo, Philippines, finds all three of the sailors searching for the ‘good old days’, as they attempt to reorganize their complicated lives and prospect for new adventures. Their plans become more complex as they include Pernicious and Enchanté in their exploits.

    Jaak Tallinn, the ‘nom de plume’ author of the book interjects his own personal experiences as a Machinist Mate Petty Officer serving aboard the USS Flint (AE-32) from the same period, as he follows the exploits of the 3 sailors in this work of fiction.

    Jaak Tallinn

    The author was a sailor that spent two years aboard a 'Kilauea Class' Ammunition ship (USS Flint), as a Machinist Mate Petty Officer assigned to 'A' Gang (Auxiliaries), and 'R' Division during three separate 'WESPAC' cruises in the Pacific, South China Seas, Indian Ocean, and other ports west, between March 1973 and March 1975.His earlier novel, 'Victory Liner 504', was written around poems that he wrote while in the Navy, and sets the stage for the current sequel.Following active duty, the author returned to college on the GI Bill, earning a Mechanical Engineering degree (BSE) from Western Michigan University in 1978, and 'Master of Business' MBA degree in 1988, then worked in a variety of Engineering, Marketing, and Management positions prior to starting his own business. As a 'Project Engineer' working for a large manufacturing company in Milwaukee, he spent six years in design, manufacturing, testing, and 'start up' of desalination plants, ASME code pressure vessels, and process equipment for US Navy, marine, and commercial ship applications. Working with the company under a NAVSEA contract, he developed the first Reverse Osmosis Desalination plant for US Navy Combatant ships during the mid 1980's, installed the unit aboard a US Navy Destroyer in Norfolk, Virginia, and rode the ship to Puerto Rico with the crew in 1987 to prove the concept. Jaak Tallinn lives in Wisconsin, and has been self-employed in his own 'Business Development Consulting' company since 1991.
