The war in the North Pacific already has a history.
Then a ship from another century enters the fog.
USCGC Healy was built to break Arctic ice, carry scientists, and survive in some of the most hostile waters on Earth. She was never built to fight the Second World War.
But when the modern American cutter is thrown back to 1943, there is no neutral water left.
The Aleutian campaign is entering its bloodiest phase. Japanese forces hold the outer islands. American commanders are preparing to take them back. Both sides are fighting weather, distance, cold, and an ocean that kills as efficiently as any enemy.
Healy brings radar, modern medicine, precision navigation, engineering knowledge—and a crew that knows how this war is supposed to end.
What she does not bring is an endless supply of fuel, spare parts, or time.
Every intervention changes something. Every rescue reveals a capability. Every piece of modern equipment that falls into the wrong hands teaches the past something it was never meant to know.
From the cold waters of the North Pacific to the battle for Attu, the crew must decide how much of the future they are willing to spend to save men who history says are already dead.
And as American and Japanese commanders begin adapting to the impossible ship in their war, one fact becomes clear:
History is no longer following the history books.
ARCTIC SENTINEL: ALEUTIAN FIRE is Book Four of the Arctic Sentinel series—a large-scale alternate-history military thriller of naval warfare, survival, engineering, and modern technology thrown into the crucible of World War II.
Genre: Science Fiction
