When Hell was forged… Guadalcanal was the model!

Death from the sky… death from the sea… or death from a savage horde of enraged Japanese…

From the best-selling author of the USS Bull Shark series…

Yamamoto and Hyakutake must retake Henderson Field at all costs… General Vandegrift and the Marines must hold it at any price… and the butcher’s bill keeps rising.

Pouring on the pressure, the Japanese launch deadly aerial assaults by day and terrifying battleship bombardments by night.

The American forces barely have time to lick their wounds and repair the damage before the rising sun delivers another searing punch to their gut!

Away on a special mission with Art Turner and Bull Shark, Al Decker and his Raiders return to find that more than 22,000 Japanese now occupy the land beyond the Matanikau… and they’re marching through the jungle for an attack that’ll make Bloody Ridge look like a Sunday dance!

With Decker back on the island, Admiral William “Bull” Halsey now in command of the South Pacific and the untested 164th Army Regiment fighting beside them, can Vandegrift’s Marines hold off Hyakutake’s massive army… or will Guadalcanal and the jungle finally devour them?

Tensions explode and guns thunder in the bloodiest Decker’s Raiders yet!
