On a Blood Stained Sea

"Susan, what is he saying?" Betty asked, looking frightened and hurt.

"He's saying we're all prostitutes." Susan felt blood drained from her face. Never in her entire life had anyone struck an accusation, like that, in her heart with such force.

Susan, a vacationing, movie-star hunting, raven haired vixen, is determined to meet movie stars at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, an exotic movie star haunt, but she is out of luck. Instead she meets Naval Officers and she, along with her three girlfriends, moves that late-night party onboard a big Navy boat, a battleship, late Saturday night, December 6th, 1941. Much to her shock and surprise, she was carried off to War the next morning.

Charging out of Pearl Harbor, that Battleship, the USS West Virginia, commanded by Lieutenant Commander Wallace, who had the foresight and the luck to predict the attack, narrowly escapes being sunk in the channel while under vicious air assault. Once out into open waters, Wallace resolves to turn the tables and hunt the Japanese.

Meanwhile, Susan finds herself compromised; she should never have sexed up Julius. Gotten that Negro Steward so lust filled, so sexed up that he'd jumped her the first chance he'd had. She'd just been playing games with a Creep, now look what happened! Now, he had naked pictures of her! Potential blackmail pictures that could RUIN HER DREAMS!

Susan is hellbent on destroying those pictures even as the West Virginia plows northwest alone after the Japanese fleet. Yet, Wallace, using West Virginia's scout planes, finds that Japanese fleet as it steams home victorious.

Warning: This Novel is Historical Adventure Fiction intended as entertainment, set at the outbreak of World War II, in a time where Racial Discrimination was rife as was Racial Segregation. African-Americans were referred to as Negros and in the pre-war US Navy, which was heavily segregated and they were only allowed to serve as messmen, commonly known as stewards. As an aside, Pearl Harbor provided the impetus to open the US Navy for African-American naval service beyond messmen. The intention of this book is to highlight the Racism of that era and become sensitive to it, while exposing the adverse effects of slavery.
