V for Victor - Softcover

Sixteen-year old Victor--stuck in Alabama and dreaming of glory--experiences a dramatic coming-of-age as he is hurled into battle against the Nazis in his defense of the Southern coast against enemy invasion

2. The war is everywhere, but Victor--a sixteen-year old boy sent by his father to care for his dying grandmother on a lonely island in Mobile Bay--can only dream of it. Then he wakes one amazing night to a thunderous roar from the Bay, and watches as a thug burns his boat. He also discovers a decomposing corpse, witnesses a near-seduction . . . and sees the ominous shadow of an enemy submarine surfacing at night.

Suddenly Victor is playing unforeseen roles--now hostage, now pursuer--in the perilous war at home. . . .
