(2025)(The fifth book in the Fightin'est Ship in WWII series)
A novel by Scott W Cook
When the Titans clash, the blood flows and the entire world trembles…
Reeling from her last knock-down, drag-out with Japan’s mighty combined fleet – the Kido Butai – USS Enterprise limps back to Pearl Harbor for repairs and refitting. And like the battle-hardened warriors who live and work inside her, this gallant lady will return to the fight even stronger… but it can’t happen too soon.
The Japanese are planning a massive offensive on Guadalcanal and Admiral Yamamoto is assembling a huge task force to hammer the spike of the Imperial Army home. Most critical – he’s placed nearly 40 warships, including 4 aircraft carriers, directly in the American Navy’s path… to once and for all crush United States carrier power in the Pacific.
Saratoga is in drydock… Wasp is sunk by Japanese torpedoes… all that stands between the Marines at Henderson Field and the massive Japanese force are the Pacific’s mighty twin sisters…
Can Enterprise and Hornet overcome 2 to 1 odds? Can the fighting men and pilots of America’s only operational carrier task forces hold back the onslaught… or will Yamamoto and Nagumo rain death down upon them from the sky?
Warbirds roar, naval guns thunder as fragile flesh and cold steel collide in an explosion that may change the outcome of WWII in this exciting new novel!
