"Spring 1942. The United States is reeling from the blow the Japanese inflicted at Pearl Harbor. But the Americans are determined to turn the tide. The key comes from Commander Joe Rochefort, a little known 'code breaker' who cracks the Japanese military encryption. With Rochefort's astonishing discovery, Admiral Chester Nimitz will know precisely what the Japanese are planning. But the battle to counter those plans must still be fought. From the American side, the shocking conflict is seen through the eyes of Rochefort and Admiral Nimitz, as well as fighter pilot Lieutenant Percy 'Perk' Baker and Marine Gunnery Sergeant Doug Ackroyd.

I enjoy Jeff's novels, usually pick up something I didn't know about. This one....not so much. After watching 'Midway' (1977) and 'Midway' (2019), he didn't bring anything new to light. It was enjoyable to read, he's gotten very good at writing, he's not as 'long winded' as he was in the World War II book. This is entertaining, it's just not as good as some of his others, however, I do suggest reading it.
