Pearl Harbor catapulted lawyer Tom Gallagher from the leafy suburban streets of Philadelphia to the deck of the destroyer USS Parris in the Pacifi c’s Solomons Islands. Though a neophyte at war, Tom is soon made into a highly capable, seasoned warrior by the desperate battles to take the Solomons from the Japanese Imperial Navy. The Parris’s part in helping turn back the Japanese tide in the Pacifi c then takes Tom to the Philippines and fi nally to the Kamikaze fed maelstrom of Okinawa. He hopes to share the post war world with a woman concert pianist he has met while the Parris is in Wellington, New Zealand for repairs.
