The United States is reeling from the terrible shock of December 7, 1942. In one terrible day, the nation finds itself at war while tending to a horrific wound. While the Navy scrambles to piece together its shattered fleet, one man and his carrier burn with a desire to wreak a terrible vengeance on the Empire of Japan.

Bull Shark and S-52 have just attacked a large bombardment fleet off the coast of Guadalcanal. And although they didn’t stop Henderson from being shelled, they might have at least curtailed it. Yet the Japanese are undaunted and more determined than ever…and the Empire has its sights set on some of its most deadly foes.

Reeling from a bloody clash with the Japanese, the Marines on Guadalcanal must lick their wounds and push ahead. Imperial Japan wants the island back, and thousands of soldiers are pouring onto Guadalcanal’s shores. With new leaders ravenous for blood, another massive battle looms close over the horizon.

After winning the first clash with his ancient enemy Van Helsing, Vlad Dracula — known in the modern world as Vince Drake — hopes the fragile balance between humans and immortals can be preserved.

Van Helsing has begun gathering allies, including the infamous Countess Elizabeth Báthory, whose centuries-long obsession with blood and youth has brought her into the search for the Philosopher’s Stone — a legendary force capable of granting mastery over life itself.

After recovering from a harrowing mission near the island of Timor, Art Turner and the crew of USS Bull Shark have healed their wounds and are ready to face Japan once more. As 1943 begins, Admiral “Uncle Charlie” Lockwood is finally ready to spring a deadly surprise on Emperor Hirohito and Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.

After enjoying two weeks of well-deserved R and R at Pearl Harbor, Art Turner, his crew, and his boat are once again asked to go out and do the impossible…and to make it snappy, already! Webster Clayton has uncovered a Japanese plan to send a major invasion force to Guadalcanal. In order to soften up the marines there, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto intends sending in a battleship to bombard Henderson Field and obliterate the Cactus Airforce.
