At the precipice of international conflict, the fate of the Mediterranean’s “Cradle of Civilization” hangs by a thread. America’s forces sailing out of Gibraltar are its last hope. 

In the wake of Muammar Gaddafi's demise, the Mediterranean's strategic waters become the stage for a new power play. Ali Hakim Sherif, emerging as Libya's formidable strongman, dreams of resurrecting the glory of the Ottoman Empire funded by the untapped oil riches of Egypt, and he’s willing to employ brutal tactics and ancient claims to do so. He finds eager allies in Iran and China, setting the stage for an explosive confrontation. Admiral Joe Glass, operating from the legendary Rock of Gibraltar, directs a covert mission involving a stealth submarine and lone destroyer along with an elite SEAL team to confront the audacious adversary. In a race against time, American forces face the daunting challenge of preventing a new empire's rise while protecting a centerpiece of global commerce. 

In this tenth installment of the critically acclaimed Hunter Killer series, bestselling authors Wallace and Keith weave a thrilling narrative of loyalty, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of power. 

A historical saga of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship.

With the Great Depression behind him and the horrors of Nazi-occupied Europe ahead, Edward Hume leaves his Pennsylvania coal mining town to volunteer as one of the first US Army bomb demolition captains in WWII. He takes command of an eclectic team of misfits, tasked with the perilous job of defuzing unexploded bombs in the heart of Europe’s fiercest battlegrounds. Their chances of survival are slim—most soldiers with this assignment don’t make it past ten weeks. Their duty takes them to the ancient and mystical Mont Saint-Michel where they face not only a deadly cache of jettisoned bombs but also treacherous tides, quicksand, and maritime mines along with the pressures of a boiling international incident. With each successful defuzing Edward and his men find themselves caught between their duty and their humanity, knowing that each mission could be their last. 

Based on real events, Elaine Hume Peake and Don Keith deliver a gripping, cinematic tale of bravery and sacrifice, capturing the relentless perseverance of the men and women who answered the call to war. 

Praise for The Kaboom Boys: 

"The Kaboom Boys is a trip back in time to World War II, told through the eyes of one brave, decent soldier...a tense tale of disasters averted and lives saved...a taut thriller you can't put down." --Sandy Kenyon, entertainment reviewer

“Take a dose of teamwork from The Boys in the Boat, add the life-or-death tension of The Hurt Locker and stir in Band of Brothers…”—Nicholas Griffin, author of The Year of Dangerous Days 

“Beautifully conceived and thoughtfully executed…” —Charles Gomez, author of Eye of the Storm and Cuban Son Rising

“One of the most fascinating accounts of bravery in World War II. Men with nerves of steel who never received the proper accolades for their heroic actions. Until now.” —Tim Gray, President, The World War II Foundation 

"Chock full of real life events, the book will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout, with constant reminders of the devastating price of failure.  If you enjoy historical war drama laced with spine tingling suspense, you definitely want to read The Kaboom Boys."  --Catherine K. Hurd, multi-award-winning writer and playwright

"A gripping and inspiring story of bravery, patriotism, and dedication that we all need right now. The daring and death-defying accomplishments of this largely unsung group of heroes lead to a finale of epic, nail-biting proportions that makes you proud to be an American...this historical drama series should be on your reading list today."   — Darcy Bonfils, multi-award-winning television news executive producer

The heroic true story of Major Richard Bong, America's top fighter pilot ace of World War II

Arriving as a fresh US Army Air Forces pilot in New Guinea in late 1942, Richard Bong wasted no time taking on the Japanese, shooting down two planes in an early skirmish-an action that earned him a Silver Star. Over the next two years, Bong would amass the US armed forces' most impressive record of aerial victories not only of WWII but in history, surpassing even the great Eddie Rickenbacker's World War I tally. In December 1944, he was personally awarded the Medal of Honor by General Douglas MacArthur. Don Keith's latest non-fiction work recounts the previously untold and compelling personal story of this true but little-known American hero.
