Across the Pacific

On the eve of America's entry into World War II, Captain Rick Leland boards a Japanese ship bound for Panama, leaving behind his dubious loyalty to the US Army. As he navigates a complex web of espionage and deception on the high seas, Leland finds himself entangled in a lighthearted romance with Alberta Marlow and drawn into the world of Doctor Lorenz, a professor of sociology who may be hiding secrets of his own. The action unfolds against the backdrop of the Panama Canal, where a sinister plot by Japanese agents threatens to disrupt global security.
