Book Description
A mathematician finds himself in the midst of the Pacific War in this “historical novel that can be appreciated by anyone, not just the history buffs” (Scene magazine). April 1945: In the aftermath of the battle for Okinawa, Tommy stands on the deck of the USS Bataan, the Independence-class aircraft carrier that he’s called home for a year.

Now, thousands of miles away, he is surrounded by horrors—but uses his mathematical and navigational expertise to do his best to minimize the casualties. In this novel, William Illsey Atkinson tells the story of Japan’s Operation Ten-Go, and the fierce battle that sent dozens of vessels to their watery grave while hundreds of others were damaged from the air.
