Book Description:

The crew of the USS Indianapolis had just delivered top secret cargo intended to end World War II. The ship was already moving into position for its next mission when it was hit by two enemy torpedoes and quickly sank into the Pacific Ocean. Survivors clung to each other, waiting to be rescued. For three days, they floated in ocean waters where they struggled against thirst, hunger, exhaustion, and sharks.
