The Rising Sun (The Secret Squadron Book 6)
December, 1941.
Wing Commander Ken Armstrong's Secret Squadron must face a new enemy and turn the tide of the war.
In North Africa, the Germans have been halted ... for the time being.
But now there is a new enemy...
In the Far East, the Japanese strike at Pearl Harbor, Malaya and Burma.
While the men want to rush to protect their American allies, they know the whole world is at stake.
Wing Commander Ken Armstrong's secret squadron, together with other reinforcements, is immediately rushed to Burma to provide the spearhead of an air strike force – and his pilots soon find themselves locked in combat with a deadly and ruthless foe.
The Japanese fight with a fury the likes Armstrong has never seen.
The battle takes far more out of his team than he anticipated.
The American fleet that survived the bombing and turned the tide against the Japanese at Pearl Harbor arrive to serve side by side against this insidious threat.
They survive, but just barely.
Stranded, beset by enemies, lost...
Cut off at an airstrip deep in the inhospitable jungle, fighting alongside their American comrades, they form a deadly team that takes a fearsome toll of the enemy – until their supplies and aircraft begin to run out...
Will the Secret Squadron survive their campaign toward the rising sun?
The Rising Sun is an enthralling military adventure.
