Don Winslow of the Navy #36

In "Don Winslow with the Marines," Don and the U.S. Marines storm the Japanese island of Kuru, where they encounter fierce resistance and destroy enemy installations, though the Japanese attempt to retreat. During the pursuit, Don uses a depth bomb against Japanese corvettes pursuing American forces, forcing the enemy vessels into a man-made water spout and enabling their escape. In "Don Winslow with the Coast Guard," titled "Death on the Flood Tide," Don investigates the mysterious disappearance of two trucks filled with material for an atomic bomb factory being built in Canada along the Rocky Maine coastline, suspecting the trucks may have fallen into enemy hands.
