The book, co-written with real-life NCIS Special Agent Leon Carroll Jr., delves into the fascinating history of espionage surrounding Pearl Harbor and the early days of NCIS (then known as the Office of Naval Intelligence).<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he\u2019d like to see the book adapted into a movie or series, Harmon remained humble, stating, \u201cI don\u2019t think like that. I just focus on doing the work at hand.\u201d However, he acknowledged the potential for more stories to be told, teasing that if the opportunity arose, a series or movie adaptation could be a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>The book not only uncovers the dramatic history of intelligence operations but also honors the dedication of people like Carroll, who spent their lives serving the intelligence community. With\u00a0<em>NCIS<\/em>\u00a0being such a hit, it\u2019s easy to imagine CBS turning\u00a0<em>Ghosts of Honolulu<\/em>\u00a0into a captivating series or film.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-671\" src=\"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mark-harmon-1-1024x768-1-300x225.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mark-harmon-1-1024x768-1-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mark-harmon-1-1024x768-1-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mark-harmon-1-1024x768-1.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Harmon, best known for his iconic role as Leroy Jethro Gibbs on\u00a0NCIS, has ventured into the world of publishing with a new book,\u00a0Ghosts of Honolulu: A&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":671,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=670"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":672,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670\/revisions\/672"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
