Epigraph

Dedication

First words

This is a story about intelligence, and the lack of same; of The Bomb, and the bottom line of human courage and endurance; of the two sides of responsibility, the appetite of sharks, and the sharks who are human.

Book description

This novel is based on the story of the USS Indianapolis, the shop that carried the atom bomb from San Francisco to the Pacific island from which it was launched.

Nobody imagined the unspeakable fate that awaited the ship carrying the instrument that not only changed the fate of World War II but the nature of warfare forever.

What happened when 1,200 men forced into the water - there to battle sharks, hunger, thirst, and terror - is one of the thrilling chapters in the story of courage and intrigue.
