Charlie Harrison's first war patrol in the submarines is aboard the S-55, a worn-out World War I-era boat. Frustrated by faulty torpedoes and malfunctioning equipment, the captain decides on a daring raid on Rabaul, the center of Japanese power in the South Pacific. There, the crew will earn glory, and the hunter will become the hunted."--Author's website
