KU alumnus to sign copies of his novel

A Kansas University graduate will return to campus next week to discuss his novel “Joint Eagles.”

Robert C. Hagan, a 1962 graduate, will read from his book and sign copies from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Oread Books, on the second floor of the Kansas Union.

Hagan’s career included work as a nuclear engineer, including reactor design. He retired as vice president of quality and engineering and director of nuclear services for Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant in Burlington.

“Joint Eagles” is about a nuclear terrorist threat against the United States from Russia.
