Book Description
In the fast-paced, based-on-truth novel Shooting an Albatross, author Steven R. Lundin carries us into wartime Hollywood, 1943, and the highly improbable, yet true, story of the only year in the history of professional golf that an entire season was cancelled. The 170th Field Artillery Battalion of the U.S. Army took over a golf course in Los Angeles that same year, setting the stage for a story that rivals anything found in fiction. It’s Army General versus Navy Admiral on the links. Private Evan Wilkins of McCall, Idaho is chosen to partner with the general, laying the groundwork for a story of film moguls and raging passion, distrust and competition, and a commanding officer besieged by jealousy. The story builds to a climax of friendly-fire murder. This page-turner of a story is for anyone who covets an exciting read, whether it be suspense, romance, military, or a great round of golf.
My thoughts
“Shooting an Albatross” by Steven R. Lundin is a fascinating story set during WWII on a golf course in California. It is a story of love, rivalry, deceit and revenge. You don’t have to be a lover of golf to follow along into the lives of the young lovers, his superior officer and the others. Lundin creates an interesting set of characters that are well developed which allowed me to dive straight into the novel and absorb myself into the tale.
