Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. You'll think you were there! In this second book of a historical fiction series, you'll be with Dade Bowie, a Medal of Honor submarine skipper, when he takes command of a boat in new construction and heads back into the Pacific in fall of 1942. When he reaches Pearl Harbor, Bowie and his crew are sent on a highly classified and highly dangerous mission to extract a Japanese physicist from Japan itself. The scientist is head of the Japanese project to produce the atom bomb. Meanwhile, at the Office of Naval Intelligence, where Dade's wife works as a translator of Top Secret decoded Japanese intercepts, experts struggle with a dilemma. Is "Operation Blue Samurai" an authentic Japanese plan to invade Australia or an elaborate ruse? Although this is Part 2 in a series, it's a completely self-contained novel.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From exciting submarine action in the Sea of Japan and the Central Pacific to ONI's desperate fight in a basement at Pearl Harbor Naval Base to defeat the newest Japanese crypto machine, this is historical fiction at its best! Yamamoto's mighty Combined Fleet needs 10,000 tons of oil a day to keep it at sea. The Japanese Army also requires huge amounts of petroleum products for tanks, trucks, aircraft, and other military uses. In 1943, Commander Dade Bowie is ordered to take the U.S.S. Sea Otter into the Sea of Japan in an all-out effort to sink as many tankers as possible before they can reach Japanese ports. Simply penetrating one of the straits leading into the Sea of Japan without detection is difficult enough, but sinking ships in Japan's very backyard and somehow safely exiting the Sea of Japan turn out to be even more dangerous. In addition, it seems that either the Japanese may have broken the code used by American submarines or there is a security leak back at Pearl Harbor. In the meantime, ONI is shocked to learn that the Japanese have replaced their highly sophisticated crypto device, the Purple Machine. ONI had broken the code and had been reading all the Top Secret messages sent over it for nearly three years. Now the Navy's most valuable intelligence source is gone, and, just as the cryptologists begin to try to defeat its replacement, the Blue Machine, the leader of the unit dies unexpectedly. The Navy turns to his protege, a 23-year-old mathematical genius and wife of a submarine officer to save the day. While this is the third book in a series, it is self-contained, and one need not have read the first two books to enjoy it. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There's exciting submarine action aplenty in this last book in the popular A TERRIBLE LOYALTY: A World War II Novel series. Dade Bowie is busy planning, then constructing, then operating a submarine base in Guam. Construction of the base begins with the American invasion to retake the island in July 1944Although organized resistance lasts only a month, the Japanese who fled into the jungle continue to fight on using snipers, ambushes, and raids.Meanwhile, "Tomahawk" Wirtz achieves fame as the best submarine skipper in the Pacific Fleet, but, after two years of nonstop action and a number of difficult war patrols, is fatigued, war weary, and has an uneasy feeling that his luck is about to run out.Dade is summoned to a planning session with General MacArthur and his top naval staff to discuss the best way American submarines (including ten of Dade's) can support MacArthur's invasion to retake the Philippines.Book 6 is an epic standout in the historical fiction genre, featuring not only pulse pounding submarine action in the Pacific, but what goes on behind the scenes.There is a lot of historical detail on MacArthur's operation as well as a behind the scenes account of the debate among the Japanese War Cabinet after Hiroshima was bombed, then after Nagasaki was bombed.
