The Nazis have been defeated in Europe, and Albie hopes that means he and his brother, Joe, can get back to normal life. Or as normal as life can be following the death of their parents. But the war against Imperial Japan still rages, and when Joe's given a new assignment on the USS \u003ci\u003eIndianapolis\u003c\/i\u003e, Albie refuses to be left behind.

All Albie, Joe, and the others can do is float--and hope that help gets to them before the Japanese navy returns to finish them off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut another enemy is coming, drawn by the blood in the water: sharks.
