....This tongue-in-cheek account is written by an author who has the Air Force and writing experience to make this wonderful story come alive. The characters are kooky and quirky. The story concept is all too probable, and the governmental bureaucracy is very predictable. We gave this a score of four hearts.Bob Spear of Heartland Reviews

Mr. Hecker's "Yankee Peddler" is an entertaining read with interesting characters, exotic location, and unusual storyline.

Ambassador Elizabeth Adams comes from a long line of foreign service members. She is proud of her lineage and equal proud of her first diplomatic assignment. She is going to set up the first American embassy on the little island of Litanian. Problem though is this mission is so secret only a handful of people know about it. If she succeeds she will be securing a part of the world for the United States. If she doesn't, well...that just doesn't bare thinking! Armed with her wits, and one Air Force officer, Kenneth Anastasios who just so happens to be a missles expert she sets off to achieve her goal. What she doesn't count on is Papa George Papalopocos and the rest of the Litanian's. They've never heard of the United States, and are happy to be invaded again. Hello, Elizabeth is not invading them! There is also the problem of the Russians. From the very beginning they are aware of her, but do they know the real reason she is there? And more importantly will she be able to do exactly what she came there for?

This was an interesting read. Elizabeth and Kenneth were entertaining characters, and don't get me starte on Papa George. This read is a light one with plenty of humor. Mr. Hecker has indeed penned a read that will entertain readers for the short time it takes to read the book.
