Brad Hanson Author of The Secret Eye

Charlie Brand, barely 17, enters World War II, where he protects the fleet from Japanese threats in this new novel about the history of radar in World War II.

Charlie Brand joined the Navy to avenge Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, and he has the best eyes and ears in the US Pacific Fleet. In Japan, Hadaki Yamatsumi journeys to determine his ancestor's will for his life. The two men are thrust on a collision course with history where only one man will survive.

In Great Britain, a gift to the United States will change the direction of the war and change the life of Charlie Brand forever. While Charlie struggles through loss, a chance meeting on a train propels him to a new life he never dreamed he could have.
