Winner of the W.Y Boyd Literary Award for Excellence in Military
Fiction for 2008. It's 1879 and Lt. Cmdr. Peter Wake, U.S.N., is on
special assignment as the official American neutral naval observer
to the War of the Pacific raging along the west coast of South
America. Chile, having invaded Bolivia, has gone on to overrun Peru
and controls the entire southeastern Pacific region. Washington,
concerned over European involvement in the war and the French
effort to build a canal through Panama, has sent Wake to observe
local events. During Wake's dangerous mission--as naval observer,
diplomat, and spy--he will witness history's first battle between
ocean-going ironclads, ride the world's first deep-diving
submarine, face his first machine guns in combat, advise the French
trying to build the Panama Canal, and run for his life in the
Catacombs of the Dead in Lima, Peru.
