- Bernard Cornwell
Pacific Theater, 1943. Fresh from the terrors of submarine combat in the South Pacific, Lieutenant Commander Jack Tremain arrives in Pearl Harbor. It is intended to be only a brief layover on his way back to the mainland for a long-overdue rest. News reaches him that his former submarine and crew have all perished under the hull-cracking devastation of a Japanese depth charge attack. A hard-biscuit squadron commander enlists the grieving Tremain to turn around the crew of a hard-luck submarine, the USS Mackerel. In the Mackerel, Tremain sees an instrument for his revenge, but he soon finds that his own personal vendetta places his new shipmates in harms way, when they are chosen for a suicidal mission deep in the heart of the Japanese Empire.
