New recruits are enlisting and undergoing rigorous training exercises—all for the opportunity to strike back and drive the enemy from American soil...

"The sequel to Days of Infamy and conclusion to this alternate history based on the question of what would have happened had the Japanese military invaded and occupied Hawaii rather than bombing Pearl Harbor and retreating back to the western Pacific. Plausible and satisfying. "

— James (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

    " Would have been a lot shorter of a book if the author didn't repeat things he had already said 3 or 4 times. Other than that, great story! "
