Official synopsis Publisher
“An undeniably seaworthy tale for military-action buffs…fortunately, Ingram has much of WWII yet to serve.” –Booklist
Four Japanese bombers dive out of the clouds.
Their target is the USS Maxwell.
As the ship is rocked by massive explosions, Commander Todd Ingram is thrown overboard…where he watches in horror as his embattled ship leaves him behind.
Clinging to a floating piece of lifeboat in rough seas, he barely survives the night. A submarine surfaces nearby, and his joy turns to horror when he recognizes it as a Japanese U-boat.
Todd’s troubles have just begun–but so has the race to save him.
As the US Navy launches a classified rescue mission, Todd is captive aboard the enemy submarine as it dodges depth charges and Allied ships. A deadly game of cat-and-mouse unfolds, and its outcome may affect the balance of power in a war that threatens to consume them all.
