Navy War Heroes #1

When the sleek battleship Lady X sets out on her first war patrol under Captain Jonathan Henry, Chief Boatswain's Mate Billy Wade is proud to serve aboard what should be the Navy's finest vessel—until a Japanese torpedo strikes without warning, enemy bombers find them impossibly in a rain squall, and their radar mysteriously fails. As Wade works to uncover the source of their catastrophic bad luck, he finds himself at odds with the ship's newly assigned Ensign Lees, a by-the-book officer who seems determined to make enemies of the crew.

Ensign John Nichols graduates from Naval Officer Candidate School as a ninety-day reserve officer, only to be thrust into command of the gun crews aboard the U.S.S. Riddleston, a merchant vessel sailing a convoy bound for Russia in the perilous waters of 1942. As Nazi U-boats and the Luftwaffe hunt the convoy relentlessly, Nichols must transform his inexperienced, reluctant crew into effective gunners while facing the brutal reality that their odds of survival seem impossibly thin. With each passing day bringing fresh horrors and fewer ships returning to port, this green officer discovers whether green crews and sheer determination can make any difference against overwhelming odds.

In "Marked For Death," Chief Specialist Ted Kilray, a Frogman on a secret mission, finds himself racing against time to protect a ship carrying communist diplomats in New York—only to realize the real threat might not come from outside, but from within the very cause he’s sworn to defend.
