OUTGUNNED

The Navy's high command responds quickly, mobilizing all they have to counter-attack the massive Japanese firepower. But there is a mole among the code-cracking team-a ruthless, cold-blooded Nazi spy on orders to stop at nothing in aiding the Japanese.

BUT NOT OUTSMARTED

Enter Navy Lieutenant Todd Ingram-the man the mole didn't count on. As the Japanese ravage the South Pacific, Ingram must escape the onslaught-and stop a traitor who has the power to turn the tide of war toward the land of the rising sun.

In the heart-pounding tradition of Eye of the Needle comes a thriller full of raw courage, non-stop action, and an unforgettable villain.
