Author Henry Faulkner brings naval officer Alan Ericsson back for another adventure set in the early, dangerous days of America's World War II campaigns in the Pacific Theater.

Alan and his wife, Jennifer, married in Sprouting Wings. Both are now instrumental in America's battle in the Pacific.

When the attack on Pearl Harbor leads to war, Alan ships out on the aircraft carrier the USS Yorktown. Alan is no longer a rookie, but he has little experience to prepare him for the adventure ahead. The war is still young, and rumors abound about the Japanese navy. They showed their power in the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the US Navy is eager for a chance to cripple them. The Yorktown sails through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific, every crew member ready for a chance to prove his mettle.

Eagerness, as Alan learns, does not make up for preparation, and the clashing personalities and incompetent leadership on board the Yorktown may be a danger to them all.

Meanwhile, Jennifer continues her important work in naval intelligence. Both husband and wife will be tested as the war rages on and the Yorktown finds the battle it's been seeking.

The story is woven through a meticulously accurate retelling of the rich history of the period.

Henry Faulkner counts World War II among his earliest memories. As a child, he developed an interest in vehicles, especially airplanes. When he was a teenager, he chanced upon a book covering the carrier war in the Pacific which intrigued him. Studying the first two years of this campaign became a hobby later in life, because of our lack of preparation greatly increased the suspense and left little room for mistakes.

Faulkner decided it would be an excellent backdrop for a set of adventure novels. His first book, Sprouting Wings, introduced his hero, Alan Ericsson, to readers. He has now continued Alan's adventure with Slow but Deadly.

Faulkner worked as an aeronautical and mechanical engineer. He is an enthusiastic amateur pilot and has flown World War II planes. Faulkner lives on an old farm in Dover, Massachusetts, with his wife. He has two grown children.
