Book Cover & Preview Text
Whatever was happening was causing the electromagnetic burst beam scheme to completely go crazy. Aboard the ODORGRAF, fires burst into blistering sheets that swept throughout the ship. It was a strange sort of flames. Though they destroyed and killed in irregular movements, those bitterly hot flames never seemed to lose their destructive strength. Chinese soldiers aboard the Russian research vessel ran terrified about, as fires consumed their feeble objections. On the burning bridge, twisted remains of Arthur Rusk's sinister machinery turned glowing red, then exploded. Aboard SAWAKAZE, what few electronic instruments were left intact suddenly imploded, frequently taking those seamen unfortunately in the area away in a sweeping display of flames and multi-colored beams. As the old destroyer cruised past SAWAKAZE, Mitsuma painfully pulled himself up to the shattered windshield's opening and stared in bewilderment, as its bloodied captain waved at him in passing. Mitsuma Nagai could only feebly wave back, because of engulfing shock of seeing his grandfather commanding the burning warship. Apparently the old gentleman, sensing something special in that waving officer aboard SAWAKAZE, snapped to smart attention and saluted. Then the ship was past them and heading straight for opposing ZHENIJANG's forward mount's firing. The strange unnerving thing about this entire scene Tokitukaza stared at was those bloodied seamen rushing along the main decking, screaming in pain, while trying to battle the flames destroying their ship. The fact they had been doing so for the last 56 years didn't matter. The last thing Mitsuma Nagai saw was that tattered Rising Sun battle ensign wildly flapping in harsh winds, then he collapsed.

About the Book
Even after Albert Einstein warned science in 1942, not to toy with electromagnetic (EM) theories as a device of war, the United States, Japan, and Germany aggressively went ahead with their ambitious experiments. The United States Navy failed their research in what became known as the "Philadelphia Experiment" in 1943. Treachery in the Night is the story of Imperial Japan’s scientific work that was later, because of pressing war obligations, disbanded. In their haste, a small detail was overlooked. Their destroyer Yoskifusa was still fully magnetized when sent into battle. In the year 2000, the dangerous results of this oversight was loose in the Sea of Japan and threatening to bring the entire Pacific Ocean into a full scale war. United States Naval intelligence working with Japan’s Navy is trying to defuse this precarious situation. But Japan’s embarrassment with their fifty-one year old failure is obsessed with concealing many of the critical clues. Red China, accidentally discovering the wartime project, is recklessly working to perfect the theory and coax Yoskifusa, supposedly sunk in 1994, through a partial time warp. China’s intelligence clashes with the Navy’s primary agent Captain Harry Warren. When the Japanese send their naval forces to sea on a war footing, the entire Pacific political scene scrambles to mobilize their own forces. Treachery in the Night is all about how greed and political ambitions bring the world to another brink of war and possibly time itself.
