EYE CONTACT OVER TRUK
America, 1985. Nick Mitchel is wracked by grief. Destroyed by his beloved wife’s death, the retiree is fighting to keep his flashbacks from disturbing long-buried truths. And a diving expedition in the Pacific Ocean he’d hoped would heal old wounds only reopens dark memories of the war…
Japan. Junichi Takahashi is brimming with indignation. After surviving the WWII firebombing of Tokyo as a child, he resents his dying father’s request to explore a sunken graveyard. And with the location now a tourist mecca for scuba divers, he’s furious that one of his nation’s most tragic losses has turned into an underwater playground.
As Nick struggles with nightmarish visions, his anger awakens when a saboteur starts tampering with his equipment. And as Junichi battles to make peace with his grim history, he confronts Nick in a dangerous collision of perspectives.
Can the two men salvage anything from the wreckage of a bitter conflict?

EYE CONTACT OVER TRUK
takes us on a journey that spans the globe
Intelligence labels it the Gibraltar of the Pacific. The almost 60,000 men preparing to attack call it the hornet’s nest. Regardless, today is the day to finally crack the mysterious Truk Atoll.
Central Pacific, 1944. Lieutenant Nick Mitchel is battle weary. Months of almost constant fighting and attrition of fellow pilots, takes its toll. But today wouldn’t be a break.
Kaito Takahashi is relieved to come off of two weeks of high alert. His role has always been on the periphery of battle, never in one.
Odd that such a tiny dot in the Pacific Ocean, would warrant such a massive armada. However Truk, though small, was home to the Imperial Japanese Combined Fleet. When the battle begins all perspectives enter and overlap. Attackers become defenders. Defenders become attackers. What happens to the innocent lives in between?
Will today finally be the decisive battle that Japan had wanted? Will Nick survive or will today be the day he gives his life for his country?
If you like gritty and authentic books that grapple with the violence of WWII, seen through the eyes of both combatants and innocent civilians caught in the crossfire, then you will love the novelette Operation Hailstone by Stephanie Woodman, prequel to her upcoming novel—Eye Contact Over Truk.
