About this ebook
Based on actual events leading up to and including the early phases of World War II in the Pacific, The Captains tells the human story as two powerful nations prepare for and fight a war that will quickly engage the entire world. Three men, James O'Reiley, Captain of the US submarine USS Boxfish, Takatoyo Nakada, Captain of the Japanese destroyer IJN Arasikaze and the American Richard Doyle,a mathematical genius and logician born and raised in Japan become necessary parts of the massive planning and buildup for the inevitable war. Amelia Woolman is a young American meteorologist who begins operating in secret as a coast-watcher, trapped on a small island in the Java Sea when the war surrounds her, and she is hunted by the Japanese. At the sea's surface and in its depths, war is experienced at its most brutal level; the terrifying life and death combat between the hunter and the hunted.
