About this ebook
It took the brightest US Navy officers to crack the top secret Japanese Naval code 25, and Lieutenant Michael Holland was among the best. When Lieutenant Holland intercepts an eerie signal from a sunken Japanese aircraft carrier he finds that too much knowledge is not such a good thing.

THE ONE WHO GRUMBLED
An electric latch on a cell gate clicked and a buzzer echoed across the cellblock stirring a sleeping old man in the cell. A guard stood at the open gate. You have a visitor,
he said. The old man had not had a visitor in thirty years.
The bunk at the United States Disciplinary Barracks in Leavenworth Kansas was not very comfortable, but the old man who lay upon it had known nothing else for over fifty years. Some inmates called this prison the hot house
. The old man’s cell was always cold; he stayed under the covers most of the time. It was all he could do to make it to meals and back three times a day. If it were up to him he would only go to breakfast. He had been at Leavenworth for so long that most of the guards didn’t know why he was there.
He turned back the covers, sat up, and slipped into his shoes. His arthritic hands fumbled with the laces. Finally he stood and shuffled out the gate, followed by the guard.
