His father died fighting in World War II, and his stepmother abandoned him. The Marines refused to take him, and now he is kicked off a bus in the middle of Nowhere, Florida. As if that were not bad enough, Harley is placed in the custody of his unwelcoming old grandfather. As Harley and his grandfather struggle to establish a relationship, an old friend enlists them in a top-secret operation on Florida's west coast, where German U-boasts lurk in the placid waters of the Gulf. Harley and his new friend Beth begin a hazardous quest, racing against the clock in a desperate effort to save the old man. Riding into the marshes under the harsh glow of a "blood moon," they discover peril, new friends, ruthless enemies, and the true meaning of family. |
