"A Fresh Tale From A Fresh, Accomplished Writer" -- Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler's List
Through the release of Freedom of Information documents, including a sailor's journal, details of the "Fuji Jiken" nuclear weapon incident are unveiled within The Siren Sea: In 1977, while playing chess, two sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway entertain the idea of how to get a nuclear weapon past security -- as the system is set up to keep someone from getting in, not out. However, their game turns serious after several traumatizing mishaps, and they commit to taking a W57 nuclear warhead off the ship in Yokosuka, Japan for humanitarian reasons. They plan to take the warhead to Mt. Fuji, notify the press, and become heroes. The Siren Sea is work of fiction that will keep readers captivated to the very end.
