This historical novel presents the little-known story of the attempted development of an atomic bomb by Imperial Japan, its attempt to use it in the final days of the Pacific War, and the US efforts to prevent the explosion of the bomb on American soil. By detonating an atom bomb on American shores, Japan believes the US will sue for peace on Japan's terms. Based on radio intercepts, a US naval intelligence officer is sent into Manchuria to prevent Japan's completion of its atomic bomb. As his search for the bomb expands into occupied Korea, the officer finds out that time is running out to prevent Japan from using the bomb. Only a last minute, desperate attempt is left to stop the Japanese from using their final weapon of destruction.
