Stationed in Shanghai in the tense months before America’s entry into World War II, China Marine Ken McCoy finds himself caught between volatile international tensions and the rigid demands of the Marine Corps. After a violent confrontation with Italian Marines, McCoy’s courage, judgment, and loyalty are tested as the looming global conflict draws ever closer. Alongside the dangers of duty, he must confront a deep-seated insecurity that threatens his relationships and his future, even as his superiors, closest friend, and several remarkable women urge him toward his full potential. Combining military authenticity, espionage, action, and character-driven drama, the novel offers a vivid portrait of Marines facing history on the eve of war.
