Duty to country, love for family, and a doomed passion intertwine in the last epic novel from the bestselling author of Exodus and Battle Cry Paddy O'Hara was a legendary Marine - one of the first - and the inspiration for a fraternity of Marines known as the Wart Hogs. After the Civil War, these stalwart warriors struggle to keep the Marine Corps alive. Their one hope may lie in Zachary O'Hara, the son of their hero, Paddy. Zachary practically grew up in the Marines and is dedicated to saving the Corps, though he hadn't planned on falling in love with the passionate, obstinate heiress Amanda Kerr. But Zachary is haunted by a secret - one that may force him to choose between a career as an officer in his beloved Corps or a life with a woman who fulfils his every desire.

Leon Uris was acclaimed world wide as the author of such bestsellers as Exodus, Trinity and QBVII. The publication of O'Hara's Choice celebrates the fiftieth year of his writing career. Mr Uris died in June, 2003, three months before the publication of this book.
In the post-Civil War era, dedicated second-generation Marine Zachary O'Hara is given the responsibility of preserving the Corps by convincing the Secretary of the Navy of its importance to the future of American defense. Love enters the story when O'Hara's life becomes entwined with that of the independent Amanda Kerr Blanton. And conflict ensues when both O'Hara's superiors and her father object to the relationship. John Bedford Lloyd reads this melodrama with a bold, clear voice that works for both action and romance. The resolution will not be unexpected, but the strong reading will keep listeners involved until the end. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
