An exciting World War II adventure that steps from a daring submarine to a notorious Japanese jail camp and ends in a dramatic military judge, by the Boyd Award-winning writer of Pacific Glory In overdue 1944, America's recapture of the Philippines is jeopardized by what seems an insurmountable risk from Japan: tremendous Yamato-class battleships, which dwarf every other dispatch at sea. Built in total secrecy, these 76,000-ton warships seem invincible. American military intelligence recognizes of two such boats, but there are gossips of an third, built much less a battleship but as an plane carrier. Now ready to go operational from Japan's seriously defended and mined Inland Sea, a carrier of this size could disrupt the entire invasion work. American bombers can't reach the Inland Sea, so the Navy high command word determines to send a submarine on a particular mission to get rid of the carrier...let's assume that it even is present. No American submarine has ever before been able to permeate the Inland Sea; five watercraft and their crews have perished in or about the main entry strait, known as Bungo Suido. Lieutenant Commander Gar Hammond - an aggressive, ship-killing captain with a reckless streak - is now skipper of the Dragonfish, a fresh submarine. When Admiral Nimitz determines to try one more time, Hammond becomes the navy's only hope to track down and stop japan super-ship before it escapes into the open Pacific. P. T. Deutermann's previous World War II adventure, Pacific Glory, earned acclaim from listeners and reviewers, and was honored with the W. Y. Boyd Literary Prize for Quality in Army Fiction, given by the American Library Connection. In Spirits of Bungo Suido, Deutermann presents another sweeping, action-filled World War II novel, predicated on a true event from the Pacific movie theater.
