She can stand her ground with the best of them. But she'll need all her strength to keep her family and her sailors afloat . . .

After embarking in the Japan-based Seventh Fleet flagship, her strategic expertise proves vital when two rival Korean warships attack each other and fuel a looming international crisis.

Devising a bold plan to de-escalate the conflict, Kate braves ruthless sexism from male colleagues just as news arrives from home-police arrested her rebellious teenager for joyriding in his aunt's car. Caught between personal and global emergencies, the selfless leader struggles to protect both her child and her country from danger.
