This is a story set in war-torn Okinawa - back in the final days of the Pacific Campaign of World War 2.

It is told from the point of view of a young Kamikaze pilot preparing to fly his fighter plane into the side of an American battleship.

It is a story of guilt, loneliness, memory and the taste of the sea.

Oh, and there's a sea monster as well.

I expect I ought to mention that...

"If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub, and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon." - Bookgasm

"Steve Vernon is something of an anomaly in the world of horror literature. He's one of the freshest new voices in the genre although his career has spanned twenty years. Writing with a rare swagger and confidence, Steve Vernon can lead his readers through an entire gamut of emotions from outright fear and repulsion to pity and laughter." - Cemetery Dance
