US Surgeon General Patricia Horoho

James Patterson and Matt Eversmann

We welcome back the writing duo of James Patterson and Matt Everman to the program to talk about ANOTHER great thriller they have produced in “Rockets Red Glare.”  When a presidential candidate is assassinated during a summer retreat on Nantucket Island, the country is thrown into turmoil. Enter Rocket’s Red Glare – a covert unit so classified it doesn’t officially exist. To save his country, former Special Forces operative Nat Phillips must face the unthinkable – because the next war has already begun.  We can’t wait to dig our teeth into this great new novel that feels like it could be ripped from today’s headlines.

Taking part in these festivities is the 43rd Surgeon General of the U.S., Lt General Patricia Horoho, who was present at the Pentagon on September 11th when it was hit by a hijacked airliner. Patty will be telling her story of the events of 9/11, and we hope you’re able to tune in on PBS!
