A gritty, action-packed novel about a World War II suicide mission that goes sideways from a "superlative storyteller" (Publishers Weekly). In the midst of World War II, a Japanese submarine base must be destroyed. But someone needs to draw enemy fire while the goal is accomplished and the task would be a suicide mission. Only a certain kind of soldier can handle a job this risky. Now, six men have been chosen to serve as decoys, and a seventh has agreed to lead them. But none of them truly understands just what they are getting into-and will soon be desperate to get out of-in this harrowing tale by an author who has won or been nominated for more than half a dozen major awards. "The reader will find himself completely engrossed." -Best Sellers
