December, 1941. The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor, Guam, Malaya, the Philippines. Everywhere, the Allies are on the run.
Except on a tiny coral atoll in the middle of the vast Pacific, where a valiant group of Americans - Marines, sailors, soldiers, and civilians - have repulsed the first Japanese attempt to capture their isolated little outpost.
But the Japanese will be back. Only the U.S. Pacific Fleet can save them - if it can get there in time.
Yamamoto. Kimmel. Yamaguchi. Halsey.
The race for Wake Island is on.
Wake Relieved is the story of a what-if: What if the United States Pacific Fleet had tried to save Wake Island from the Japanese in December 1941? In this alternate history, Admiral Halsey's carriers head for Wake - and an early showdown with the Imperial Japanese Navy.

"Wake Relieved, Much Recommended" I read Wake Relieved when it was first posted on the fictional discussion boards, and now I have happily purchased two copies of the book for myself and for a local library. I would recommend the book to anyone who has an interest in World War II, it is superbly well written, eloquent and portrays the battle of Wake Island as though you were actually there fighting it yourself. I hope he publishes all his other stories on how World War II in the Pacific would have turned out differently due to the battle of Wake Island. -Nathaniel
