Coming Nov 1st

The Action in the Pacific continues with 1943, the entire novel dedicated to the Pacific Theater. Admiral Halsey returns, and with him come three friends, the first three Essex Class carriers rushed out of the shipyards and into service to meet the emergency situation in the Pacific. Now, with five fleet carriers, he moves to challenge the Japanese fleet in a bold new offensive. As MacArthur takes over command of the ground battle in the Fijis, the Marines are withdrawn to reorganize for an attack into the New Hebrides at Efate. Operating to attack the small American outpost at Ndeni in the Santa Cruz Islands and then cover the transfer of reinforcements to Fiji, the Kido Butai runs into Halsey’s operation and the Fighting Admiral again has a chance to show his worth.
