Description
It’s 1945, and the world is in the grip of war.
Hideki lives with his family on the island of Okinawa, near Japan. When the Second World War crashes onto his shores, Hideki is drafted to fight for the Japanese army. He is handed a grenade and a set of instructions: Don’t come back until you’ve killed an American soldier.
Ray, a young American Marine, has just landed onOkinawa. This is Ray’s first-ever battle, and he doesn’t know what to expect — or if he’ll make it out alive. All he knows that the enemy is everywhere.
Hideki and Ray each fight their way across the island, surviving heart-pounding ambushes and dangerous traps. Butthen the two of them collide in the middle of the battle… And choices they make in that single instant will change everything.
