Final Harbor (The Silent War Book 1)

Read Final Harbor (The Silent War Book 1) Storyline:

A DEADLY GAME OF HIDE
AND SEEK

She was a
monster, sleek and gleaming, designed to
strike without warning like the dreaded shark. She was the USS <i>Mako</i>, as fearless and bold as any submarine that ever prowled the blue Pacific. Her
mission: seek out and
destroy the hitherto invincible ships of the Japanese Imperial Navy — and
revenge the earlier defeats of a long and dirty war.Here is the story of
the men who pitted their lives against
impossible odds in the most dangerous branch of the American armed services. It
is a story of men
pushed to the breaking point and beyond in the most nerve-wracking,
heart-stirring warfare of all. A story of glory, grit and guts, and of the astonishing resources that human beings call
forth when put to the ultimate test.Author Harry Homewood was a qualified
submariner before he was seventeen years old, having lied to the Navy about his
age, and serving in a little "S"-boat in the old Asiatic Fleet. After
Pearl Harbor he reenlisted and made eleven war patrols in the Southwest
Pacific. He later became Chicago Bureau Chief for <i>Newsweek</i>, chief
editorial writer for the <i>Chicago Sun-Times</i>, and for eleven years had his
own weekly news program syndicated to thirty-two PBS television stations.
