Scott and his roommate become fast friends, and, after surviving scrapes of their own making, the two fetch up at Pearl Harbor. War is brewing, and their class has graduated early. They have been sent to battle stations. James is a talented young officer, but he has a lot to learn. And war will have a lot to teach him.
