Desperate in the shadow of a mushroom cloud, can she repair her heliplane and launch before the vengeful Japanese find them? Pilot Shoney O’Brien can’t believe they left. Scared and angry that the Nevada Navy submarine Mako abandoned them with the Japanese closing in, Shoney fears for her heliplane crew. The atomic shockwave that put them on a Japanese beach six miles from ground zero fried the engine electrics. Blood pounding in her ears, she works sweaty and slippery fingers to cross-connect every damaged part in the electrical panel. This beach is their graveyard if she can’t get at least two fuel cells online---never mind the rifle-bearing Japanese cadre double-timing down the windswept beach. Can Shoney reconnect the last fuel cell and find Mako before the approaching coal-black radioactive cloud poisons the air, the danger-close cadre bullets or low-flying fighters blast her and her crew to bloody shreds? Dive into a harrowing tale where one woman's tenacity is tested against a desperate and vengeful Japan at the dawn of the atomic age.
