Don Winslow of the Navy #25

Don Winslow and his partner Red Pennington volunteer for a daring sabotage mission behind enemy lines on the Japanese-held Garsal Islands, where a stalemate has halted the Marine advance. Tasked with crippling the enemy air force using time bombs before a coordinated assault, the two trouble-shooters must navigate the darkness, outwit enemy patrols, and plant their charges on the airfield—all while the clock ticks toward the scheduled attack. When their discovery forces an unexpected escape, they'll need every ounce of cunning and nerve to survive.

Don Winslow and Red Pennington dock their ship in Brisbane for repairs, only to stumble upon an old friend and a charming Australian nurse—but what promises to be a pleasant shore leave becomes anything but when a storm forces them to an island harboring escaped enemy prisoners. With the women in danger and time running short, Don and Red must outwit their captors and find a way off the island before the situation spirals further out of control.
