The Sen-toku Raid — John Mannock

Part aircraft carrier. Part submarine. All weapon.And it's aimed at the U.S . . . .

The U.S. Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams -- UDTs -- are the best of the best. Island after island, throughout the Pacific Theater, their job has been to recon enemy positions, pinpoint the location of machine-gun nests, and clear the beaches of mines and other obstacles for the Allied forces.

With the invasion of the Philippines under way and the end of the war in sight, the empire of the Rising Sun prepares to launch the Sen-Toku class submarines. Designed to carry kamikaze fighter planes and manned Kaiten torpedoes, one enormous Sen-Toku sub is a fleet in itself -- making it more than capable of invading the East Coast of the U.S. and striking Washington, D.C.

Now, with a ragtag group of Allied soldiers and guerrillas, UDT officer Lieutenant Charlton Randall has to infiltrate an enemy stronghold, avoid detection, and destroy the Sen-Toku in a mission from which no one may make it out alive . . . .
