Jack Nanuq is ready to sign his book, “Parabellum: When You Live in Peace, Prepare for War,” on Feb. 16. He’ll sign more books at a launch party at the Duanesburg YMCA on Saturday, March 2, from noon to 2 p.m.
“How does a prisoner of war become a spy? And why? And what is a galco?” These are some of the central questions driving the plot of “Parabellum: When You Live in Peace, Prepare for War” by local author Jack Nanuq.
The Schoharie Library hosted the author for a book-signing on Feb. 16. He read a chapter of his mystery thriller to an enthusiastic audience, and spoke of how he came to write it, as well as the process of writing and publishing.
Nanuq said that a conversation with someone whose grandfather was a POW on the Isle of Man during World War I sparked the idea, but the story is wholly his own creation.
Set partly in circa-2000 upstate New York, and partly in World War I-era Isle of Man, the book follows Carson Nowak, a CIA contractor, as he explores his great-grandmother’s thorny past as a refugee and prisoner of war during the world wars. Nana’s secrets, however, are more dangerous than he guessed, and Carson’s personal and professional lives collide as Nana’s enemies close in.
Jack Nanuq will be celebrating the launch of his novel with a party at the Duanesburg YMCA on Saturday, March 2, from noon to 2 p.m. “Parabellum” is available at this event, and at www.amazon.com.
