Onboard the heavy cruiser USS Salt Lake City, Lieutenant Commander Justin Collier was 230 miles west of Pearl Harbor accompanying the USS Enterprise on a secret mission when Japan attacked the United States. Upon his return to Honolulu, the gravity of the war begins to change him, as does every subsequent mission, including a rare beach landing with an Army infantry division. He fears his wounds of war, both physical and mental, will be incurable. Meanwhile, on the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, hundreds of wounded men lay scattered in cots and stretchers in and around the naval hospital, and volunteer nurse Heidi Collier feels overwhelmed by the number of casualties. She had watched the bombing by Japanese planes as she huddled with her two children in front of their home, hoping that her husband aboard the USS Salt Lake City was safe wherever he was. In her prayers, she feels he is still alive. Lieutenant Riley Bracken feels the sudden g-force of his catapult-launched observation floatplane with each harrowing mission. Alerting the USS Salt Lake City of enemy ships gives him purpose, which is why no one can know about his recent bouts of vertigo. He can't risk losing what he loves most. Fifteen-year-old Al Jowdy lied about his age in order to join the Navy. Whatever he believed Navy life would be was shot out of the water--twice--when his ships were torpedoed. Now aboard the Salt Lake City, he fears his luck may have run out."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Salt Lake City $v Fiction 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x History $y World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction 650 0 $a Pearl Harbor (Hawaii), Attack on, 1941 $v Fiction 650 0 $a Sailors $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction 650 7 $a Historical fiction $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Novels $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Borrowman, Jerry. $t Ocean of courage and fear $d [Salt Lake City, Utah] : Shadow Mountain Publishing, [2024] $z 9781649332530 $w (DLC) 2023049889 941 $a 1 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20240611011055.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=15B1C8B827B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
