A remarkable World Battle II adventure set on a US destroyer under ferocious kamikaze invasion, by the Boyd Award-winning writer of Pacific Glory. By the springtime of 1945, the once mighty Japanese fleet has been practically destroyed, giving Japan available to invasion. JAPAN react by dispatching a huge selection of suicide bombers up against the Allied fleet encompassing Okinawa. By mid-May, the Allied fleet is sacrificing a major ship a day to murderous swarms of kamikazes loading out of Formosa and southern Japan. The radar picket lines is the first protection and early warning against these hellish formations, however the Japanese immediate special attention to these lone destroyers stationed north and west of Okinawa. One destroyer, the USS Malloy, faces an even more pressing issue when her Exec Officer Connie Mls begins to understand that the ship's much-admired Captain Pudge Tallmadge is sacrificing his head under the relentless pressure of the problems. Set up against the blazing gun fights created by the previous desperate offensive of the Japanese, Executive Officer Mls and the ship's officials grapple with the consequences of sacrificing their skipper's assistance - as well as perhaps the ship itself and everyone up to speed. Vividly genuine, historically exact, and emotionally engaging, Sentinels of Fireplace is military excitement at its best.
