Don Winslow of the Navy #11

Commander Don Winslow and Lieutenant Red Pennington arrive in Calcutta to help the American Legation track down Japanese spies who seem to vanish without a trace at the local bazaar. When they investigate a magic show at the marketplace, they uncover a cunning operation using a magician's tricks as cover for a smuggling ring—but their discovery lands them in far more danger than they bargained for. Trapped in the jungle hideout with nothing but their wits and a deadly cobra between them and their captors, the two naval officers must find a way out before the enemy can silence them for good.

Don and Red infiltrate Nazi-occupied St. Philippe with a team of commandos and rangers to destroy the German radio station that's been crippling Allied bombing campaigns—a mission that must succeed before midnight to protect the largest air offensive of the war. With help from a resourceful French agent, the team fights through shore patrols and Nazi guards to reach the farmhouse headquarters, but their plans face a sudden, deadly complication when enemy forces arrive at their doorstep. It's a race against the clock to sabotage the Nazis' communications before their cover is blown.

Eaglebeak Spruder is a sea-scout who loves to brag about his knowledge—until a fellow named Pig's Feet challenges his claims of superiority. When Eaglebeak tries to smooth things over with characteristic flattery, he ends up learning a lesson about humility the hard way.

Don Winslow finds himself defending a remote field hospital in the Solomons alongside a depleted Marine force when Japanese forces disguise themselves as a Red Cross ship and launch a surprise attack. Captured and interrogated, Winslow uses his wits to escape and rejoin the Marines, then devises a cunning plan using salvaged movie equipment to sow confusion among the divided enemy forces. With wounded to protect and outnumbered ten to one, the Marines dig in for a desperate fight—but Don's quick thinking may just give them the edge they need.
