Holding out despite dwindling supplies are soldiers, sailors, nurses, and civilians caught in the war’s awful web.
Among them lurks a Nazi spy in the guise of a Navy cryptographer.
This dastardly, clever espionage agent has not only managed to commit several murders, but is also gathering intelligence to pass on to the Axis.
When the intelligence officer begins to suspect the cryptographer, he passes his doubts along to his roommate from the Naval Academy, Lt. Ace Ingram.
As Corregidor falls, Ingram and his brave crew escape from Manila harbor and begin a perilous journey dodging Japanese patrols in pursuit of the spy.
They make their way south through villages and hidden coves, escaping danger in a death-defying chase.

When Duty Whispers Low – Todd Ingram Series 03
It’s 1943, and the U.S. Navy is caught in a fierce battle against the Japanese in the South Pacific.
At stake, is the Allies’ newly won Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands.
But Isoroku Yamamoto, admiral of the Combined Fleet and architect of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, desperately wants Guadalcanal back and prepares to launch a series of bombing raids in the Solomons.
In response, the Allies introduce the proximity fuse to the fleet – a top-secret anti-aircraft detonator that can greatly assist the U.S. Navy in their fight against Japanese dive-bombers and torpedo planes.
But in the heat of combat, Commander Jerry Landa refuses to use the fuse, and the USS Howell is torn in half.
Lieutenant Commander Todd Ingram confronts Landa, questioning his authority.
As the two become enemies in the midst of war, Yamamoto directs the raids that will return him to the glory of December 7, 1941-raids that will facilitate the recapture of Guadalcanal and will cripple the U.S. Navy forever.
The Neptune Strategy – Todd Ingram Series 04
Commander Todd Ingram is on the bridge of his ship, the destroyer USS Maxwell, on radar picket duty on a misty, overcast day when four Japanese Val dive bombers emerge screaming from the overcast.
The coordinated attack is sudden and devastating, the ship rocked by massive explosions as the bombers hit their target.
The concussions hurtle Ingram overboard and he watches in horror as his embattled ship leaves him behind.
Ingram barely lasts the night, clinging to a floating piece of his ship’s lifeboat in rough seas.
As he begins to lose hope, a periscope cuts through the water and in moments a submarine surfaces nearby.
His joy turns to horror as he spots the numbers I-57 on the conning tower. He is now a prisoner of a Japanese U-boat and his troubles have just begun–but so has the race to save him.
A secret U.S. Naval Signal Intelligence Service station in Australia intercepts a situation report from the Commander of the submarine to his superiors in Tokyo–they have an American prisoner, Alton C. Ingram.
A strategy is developed by the U.S. Navy and a classified plan put in motion: ensure that the I-57 escapes a net of ASW HUK groups (anti-submarine hunter killer) laying across the sub’s path to Lorient, France and ambush it when it reaches shore.
But the I-57 has other plans as it dodges depth charges and Allied ships in a deadly game whose outcome may effect the balance of power in a war that threatens to consume them all…
From the Philippine Sea to the Nazi U-boat pens in Lorient, France, The Neptune Strategy is a complex cat and mouse game between the Japanese submarine 1-57 and a U.S. Navy determined to save one of their own and is the most thrilling novel yet by a master of the WWII thriller.
