The Vietnam War is finally over, but for Lieutenant Jake Grafton, freshly returned from two harrowing combat cruises, his own country seems almost as hostile. When his fists get him in trouble, he lands himself in a new hell - an excruciating eight-month cruise on the aircraft carrier Columbia teaching Marines the nuances of carrier aviation.
Soon the Marines have Jake wishing he was back fighting the VC, but flying from a slippery flight deck, on a choppy sea in a pitch-black night leaves no room for error - or animosity. Together they must make split-second decisions that hurtle them towards their common goals: excellence... and survival.
