At Da Capo, Robert Pigeon bought world rights to two new books by Stephen Harding from agent Scott Mendel at Mendel Media. The first book, Last to Die, is set for June 2015 and follows a young U.S. Air Force sergeant who died while flying over Tokyo, days after Japan’s surrender in WWII. Da Capo said the book looks at how “his death might have prolonged the war and changed history.” The second book, The Castaway’s War, set for 2016, is about a Navy lieutenant who, after getting stranded in the South Pacific in 1943, “carried on a one-man war” against the Japanese before being rescued.
