A CODE FOR TOMORROW: A Todd Ingram Novel

by John J. Gobbell

Overview

In A CODE FOR TOMORROW, Navy Lieutenant Todd Ingram escaped the horrors of Corregidor. Now, in San Francisco, he agonizes over Helen Durand, the Army nurse he left behind, fighting for the resistance on Mindanao. Todd Ingram is befriended by Senior Lieutenant Eduard Dezhnev, the Soviet Naval attache' to the USSR's consulate there. But things go badly for the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific's Solomon Islands and Rear Admiral Raymond Spruance orders Ingram to the destroyer U.S.S.Howell as executive officer. Right back in the fighting, Ingram is caught in two of the epic naval battles off Guadalcanal: the Battle of Cape Esperance and the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. Amidst this, Ingram reaches for Helen but her rescue is hampered by the espionage activities of Dezhnev, a man Ingram grew to trust and admire. With the war at its apex, Todd Ingram puts his life on the line not only for the girl he loves, but for his country, and for a world so perilously close to collapse.

Editorial Reviews

"A Code For Tomorrow is big and fast as a Fletcher class destroyer and the story races along with pace and power...a thrilling read."

"...the sea action is thoroughly convincing."

Kirkus - Kirkus Reviews Kirkus Reviews

"This is the follow-up to Gobbell's well-received The Last Lieutenant (1995). This time Gobbell tracks young naval officer Todd Ingram, a Corregidor escapee, through more World War II action afloat in the Pacific, ashore in the Philippines, and through the hallowed halls of military high command.
It is still early in the war, and despite the promise of easy duty, Ingram is quickly sent back to help fight the Japanese navy in places few Americans knew existed prior to Pearl Har
