Operation South Pacific The War Epic That Became Rodgers and Hammerstein Sensation.

Stephen J. May announces the release of Operation South Pacific. The historical novel (released Jan. 6) is now available through Amazon and all local booksellers.

Publisher: Atmosphere Press, Austin, TX.

Set in the lush Pacific islands during World War II, Operation South Pacific relates the story of aspiring novelist and U.S. Navy Lieutenant James Michener.

While attempting to write about his war experiences and fulfill his military obligations, Lt. Michener encounters several unforgettable characters: a churlish Tonkinese field worker named Bloody Mary; a patriotic French planter willing to fight for the Free French in the islands; a remarkable American nurse who will change his life; and a motley but valorous band of fighting men.

This is the inspiring account of how one man with a story to tell rose from complete obscurity to become one of the most honored and distinguished writers of the past century. Fighting self-doubt and the blanket indifference of the book industry, Michener published Tales of the South Pacific in 1946. The novel eventually attracted the attention of Broadway superstars Rodgers and Hammerstein, who adapted his prize winning account into the one of the great stagemusicals of all time, South Pacific.

In this story based on true events, James Michener overcomes whatever obstacles are placed in his way by using his creative bravery, his Quaker humility, and his uncompromising search forthe truth to win the hearts and minds of his readers.

Operation South Pacific is a must read for all aspiring authors and artists. Stephen J, May is the author of James Michener's biography Michener and Michener's South Pacific, two books which relate the historical growth of the famed author. He has also written biographies of J.M.W Turner and the popular western novelist Zane Grey. But as far as Operation South Pacific goes: "Stephen J. May confirms his reputation as James Michener's most pertinent, sensitive, and accessible biographer. It may seem absurd that, once upon a time, adapting such a serious, unflinching work as Michener's for the stage was a risky challenge. This novel details every important step of that thrilling journey." --Laurence Maslon, New York University and Tony Juror.
