could destroy her marriage.
Life is changed for ever on the day of the
infamous attack on Pearl Harbour. As Japanese Zero aircraft attack the town of

White Pearl. She sails with her husband and son, three friends and the enigmatic
boat dealer Fitzpayne, who is the only one who can navigate the islands of the
South China Sea.
In desperation, short of food and constantly in danger,

deadly divisions between friends . .
