Product Description
The last lieutenant is Todd Ingram. Half-starved and beyond exhaustion, Ingram refuses to give up the fight when General Jonathan Wainwright surrenders Corregidor Island to the Japanese. As artillery blasts The Rock's beaches and hillsides, Ingram commandeers a thirty-six-foot launch with eleven other desperate men. But only Ingram knows the most dangerous threat of all: that a Nazi spy lies undiscovered aboard the last evacuation submarine off the island. The Nazi knows about Chester Nimitz's plan to trap the Japanese fleet at Midway and needs just thirty seconds and a radio to get a warning dispatch to Yamamoto. Ingram must track down the spy through miles of Japanese-infested waters and stop him before the tide of the war turns irrevocably to the rising sun. Before Ingram can save himself and his men, he must save his country.

Format:Paperback
This is July 1999. In Jan this year, I went on tour of Corregidor; Malinta Tunnel, the Batteries Geary, Way, Weever and others, Top Side, Middle Side, and Bottom Side, the 1000 bed hospital, south dock, north dock, and the bombed out hulk remains of the US-Filipino garrison. This very wonderful and moving book brought it all together. I consider it a must reading to any one who remembers anything about the Pacific War. Every thing described about the battle,the bombs, the mortars, and the geographic area is factual, as I have been over half of the trip covered by that brave crew in route to Mindanao, especially the rough Verde Passage. It is a fantastic piece of work and any one wondering about the necessity of "being prepared" should read it very carefully. I've been to Corregidor twice, and will go again next year. The mention of the Filipino family that attended Texas A&M for two generations was interesting. There were 26 former Texas A&M men (Aggies) on the Rock during the battle, the most famous, General George Moore. These Aggies held a Muster on 21 April 1942, under fire, as all Aggies do every year, around the world, to honor General Sam Houston, and the fight for Texas Independance in 1836. General MacArthur wrote a letter of commendation about the bravery of those Aggies and the Muster. It was published natiojnally and in the New york Times. A plaque hangs on the campus of Texas A&M with the names of those brave Aggies who went down with Corregidor. This book brings it all home, full circle.... Thanks!
Format:Paperback
This is a truly amazing book. I cannot get the images of the tunnels on Corregidor out of my mind - the descriptions were so powerful. For the first time, I feel that I understand what our servicemen and women went through there. This is exactly what a novel should be. I can't wait for the movie! Please give us more!
Format:Paperback
Set in the most dramatic, fascinating part of World War II, when large numbers of Americans (and Filipinos) faced death or captivity by the onrushing Japanese, this is a great adventure story. Characters are believable, setting is EXTREMELY well-constructed with great period details. Plot gets a little implausible, eventually, but one only notices that after finishing the book, so good a job does the author do at keeping you riveted. Premise of Magic (ability to read Japanese codes) being threatened adds high drama. Lots at stake in times of great peril!
