In April 1945 the light carrier Alaska, steaming toward a secret strike with the Navy’s new thorium bomb, disappears without trace near the Aleutians. Lieutenant-Commander Frank Jacklin, a public-relations officer aboard, is the only one who can tell what happened, and his survival plunges him into a paranoid world of interservice rivalry and suspected sabotage.
