It seemed to Joe that in the midst of chaos and the smell of death, life became sweeter, mating a driving necessity, and love a soothing balm for screaming nerves....

With the nucleus of their battleship and carrier fleet destroyed, they had to rely on the much-scorned submarines of the Silent Service. <P> Jack McCrary, like his comrades in the submarine service, was determined not to let them down.
