by J. Eugene Porter (Author)
America is being pushed back by the Axis powers. In Europe, the Germans are moving their massive armies deeper into Russia. Rommel is driving the British back into Egypt. Along the East Coast, the United States seems powerless to stop the slaughter of ships from Nazi U-boats. The Pacific is turning into a Japanese controlled sea. But the Americans have just blunted the attack on Port Moresby at the Battle of the Coral Sea. Now the United States Navy faces a new threat aimed directly at their few remaining aircraft carriers and the strategic island of Midway. Admiral King's Science Team is sent to help the beleaguered forces in the Pacific turn the tide and stop the Japanese advance. Strategies based upon newly developed intelligence and gut hunches drive the outnumbered Americans to attack the enemy and prepare to counter their next push in the southwest Pacific on a jungle island named Guadalcanal.
