It was a time for America and her heroes: men like Michael and Andrew O'Connor, rival brothers fresh out of Annapolis, men who left all they knew and loved to seek glory in a world at war. Mike beneath the ocean aboard the USS Tigerfish, Andrew in the air as a fighter pilot ace. Theirs was a baptism by fire, yet they rose to confront a brutal enemy across the sea—and to chase the explosive dreams that could ultimately destroy them.

From Harry Homewood, bestselling author of Final Harbor, Silent Sea, and Torpedo!, comes the epic novel of a family at war. A novel of family, duty, pride—and of two brothers, competitors in both love and war, whose inner struggles provided them with the courage that could mean the difference between life and death.
