“In The Preserve, Steve Anderson once again paints a compelling and page-turning thriller.”

—Peter Riva, author of the Pero Baltazar safari thrillers

“Inspired from these real-life events spanning the Yamashita gold conspiracy and General MacArthur’s inheritance of the ‘secret mother lode’ of looted fortune, Steve Anderson’s The Preserve, set in the Hawaii of 1948, raises the curtain on the American hegemony that persisted in the postwar era.”

—The Big Thrill magazine

“This is an extraordinarily fine historic drama, based on true events, and enhanced by the author’s flair for exciting fiction. Very highly recommended.”

—San Francisco Review of Books

“The Preserve is a first-rate historical thriller. It is fast, dark, and complicated without becoming ridiculous … And Anderson clearly did his research. He salts enough historical fact throughout the book to give it flavor without weighing down the action.”

—Rose City Reader

“A fast-paced historical thriller that will linger in the mind and memory long after the novel is finished and set back upon the shelf.”

—Midwest Book Review

”Anderson quickly puts the reader into Lett’s deeply troubled mind, into Alana’s clever ploys, into the terrain and physical challenges. He knows the military, the weapons, and jargon. His prose is often compelling . . . A deep study of what war and greed can do to the survivors.”
