A man on the brink of his destiny...It is the height of the Vietnam War and young Lt. Brian Holcomb is about to embark on an eight-month tour of duty that will bring him one step away from commanding his own ship.

A Woman Tempted By Desire...On the homefront, his beautiful wife Maddy is lonely and confused--tantalized by a seductive stranger and an act of betrayal every Navy man dreads, even more than the enemy's face.

A Ship At War With Itself...Aboard the guided-missile frigate USS John Bell Hood, he will witness a ship spinning in a tidal pool of recklessness--its crew wasted by drugs, its brass losing its grip on command.

The Edge Of Honor - And now, as the Hood steams towards an explosive showdown with North Vietnam's killer MiGs, he will be forced to make the most agonizing choice of his life--one that could make hs career...or damn his soul.
