Send the Word (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088161456)

Send the Word, the second book in award-winning Hockenberry's World War I Intrigue Series, follows our heroes into the Great War. Now in Military Intelligence, Martin and Keller struggle to secure victory. But at what cost? At home, clandestine operator Shannon Tunney faces a new set of killers. The book depicts the horrors of war and its emotional damage.

On the Western Front, Martin & Keller do not know who is more treacherous: the German army or supposed friends. During the American advance, a cunning assassin emerges to threaten General Pershing. In the final days of the war, Martin & Keller battle through the formidable German defenses in the Meuse-Argonne. Taking it will be ghastly. For Martin, pledged to keep his warrior friend Keller alive, the story becomes a personal struggle of sacrifice, loss of faith, and despair. In New York, Shannon wonders if she is a wife or widow. She uncovers a conspiracy to help Germany win the war but gets trapped between scheming rivals, opportunistic adventurers, and righteous patriots.

Through it all, each will face betrayal, bewildering obstacles, and certain death.

The Series dramatizes America's experience in the Great War and richly depict the tensions and controversies of the times. It weaves together concerns that resonate today: terrorism, the cost of military engagements, and competing ideological challenges.
