A gripping World War II saga of unflagging courage and resilienceCan a scared preacher's son and green co-pilot in the U. S. Army Air Corps save his stricken B-24D bomber and crew from certain destruction high above the pre-invasion beaches of Tarawa Atoll in September 1943? With Japanese fighters in the air and anti-aircraft gunners on the ground ready to shoot down the plane and send it crashing into the trackless Pacific Ocean, the lives of the 10-man crew hang in the balance. This spine-tingling World War II thriller captures the incredible story of how young men in the greatest global conflict in history can rise above personal limitations, fight man-eating sharks, and survive on the world's largest ocean - all while plumbing the depths of their souls as they struggle to live another day on a life raft.This dramatic, page-turning, historical novel brings to life the forbidden diary of Lt. William "Billy" Worthington as he struggles to overcome his fear of cowardice in combat and faces up to his life-long battle to accept the faith of his father. Ride along in the right-hand seat of a B-24D as America valiantly turns the tide in the Pacific war. Witness the wrenching hunger and unbearable thirst as the narrator and his raft mates confront powerful storms, rogue waves, relentless sharks, the searing sun, and more.Novelist Curtis Grant Parker puts you side-by-side with these young American fliers as they battle against Imperial Japan in World War II.
