"Dramatic . convincing historical detail that really distinguishes this [novel] from the competition." -Publisher's Weekly The US Navy has won Guadalcanal. But a brilliant Japanese admiral will stop at nothing to get it back. He already masterminded the Pearl Harbor attacks. And to seize Guadalcanal, he has a far more devastating plan...one that will call upon every Japanese military asset in the Pacific. The Allies have top secret technology that has never been used. Its effectiveness is uncertain. But for Lieutenant Commander Todd Ingram, it may be his only hope. In a desperate battle against an onslaught of Japanese air raids, Todd must fight with everything he has-even if it means turning friends into enemies. If he fails, the US Navy won't just lose Guadalcanal...it will be crippled forever. ________________________ Praise for John J. Gobbell and WHEN DUTY WHISPERS LOW: "The battle scenes are frequent, straightforward, and realistic. Gobbell knows how to keep the story moving." -Library Journal ________________________ What readers are saying: "Like it's predecessors, this book is outstanding." "Best sea novel since "Time and Tide" by Thomas Fleming." "I pledge to read everything and anything this master craftsman writes." "Haze grey and underway. Tin can sailors will love the book. Great sea/air battle scenes and lots of them. John puts you right in the action." "If you enjoy your novels featuring sea battles -e.g. the Hornblower series, etc.- you will enjoy this book. It is not your ordinary sea action story. It is a well written, literary fiction."
