First, out of their San Diego Naval Base on the West coast is gathering a large fleet, poised to liberate the Hawaiian Islands, first step into the liberation of the Pacific. Facing them is the might of the Imperial Japanese Navy under strategic mastermind Isoroku Yamamoto.
In Australia, famous American General Douglas MacArthur is organizing Allied forces and putting some spine into what must be the last line of defense against Japanese aggression.

Another great story.
The author makes a convincing story on an alternate scenario of the war in the Pacific
Combined with the fact that there arent alot of them out there (alternate history of WW2 Pacific), its very good to finally have an author that takes the time to give attention to the that side of the World War.
Read in sequebce (start with book 1), you will not be dissapointed

Great story.
Love the yamamoto insights and the battle scenes
The author even took time to describe the war in burma and china, making for a nice change of pace from typical books that only talks about the obvious battles like midway and the likes..
Highly recommended

Love the old maps. Makes even more believable.
