Author Description

Stationed on Wake Island in the fall of 1941, a wise-cracking soldier has to decide if saving his childhood friend from a path of self-destruction is worth exposing his greatest betrayal, but time is running out as the war closes in. Ben must choose between saving his friend and saving their friendship. Ben is irresponsible and immature; he only enlisted in the marines to prevent his childhood friend from destroying his future. John has a hero-complex and a need to prove himself in order to overcome his abusive past. John doesn't seem to see what all is at stake, but Ben knows that this is not the fantasy game of knights and King Arthur that they played as boys but is instead a very real war. He can save John, but to do so would mean exposing his greatest act of betrayal which will destroy their friendship forever.
