About Strike: A Novel of the Battle of Midway (Unabridged)

After a lifelong dream of flight takes him into military service, Ensign Harry Hartmann reports for duty at Pearl Harbor. He’s a “nugget,” a dive bomber pilot about to start his first deployment aboard the USS Enterprise . Hell rains from the skies as the Japanese launch a devastating surprise attack that forces America into a bloody, global war. With the Bombing Six, Harry takes to the skies seeking vengeance and finds himself fighting for his life in breathless, high-speed aerial combat over the Marshall Islands. After the Doolittle Raid rattles Tokyo, the Imperial Japanese Navy embarks on a bold plan to draw America’s aircraft carriers into the open, where they can be destroyed. Their target: Midway Island. The Americans, however, have cracked the Japanese codes and set their own trap. With the call, “Pilots, man your planes,” Harry will join historic carrier strikes aimed at turning the tide of the Pacific War. Strike tells a powerful and exciting story about the Battle of Midway—examining courage in the face of impossible odds, the demands of honor, and whether one man can make a difference.
