The Last Lieutenant is the first book in the Todd Ingram series. The story takes place in 1942 after the Bataan has fallen to the Japanese and the Philippines seem to the next to go down. A general has surrendered the last American outpost in the West Pacific, but Ingram refuses to give up the fight. He takes to sea under darkness and leads his ten man crew to slip through the Japanese naval blockades and travel to Australia where they look to stop a Nazy spy. It is a near impossible mission with no reinforcements or no rescue if they fail.
The second book in the series is A Code for Tomorrow. After the events of the first book, Ingram is promoted to the destroyer, USS Howell. The new assignment will put him into two epic naval engagements: the Battle of Cape Esperance and the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. This will be just the beginning of his fight against the Japanese as he finds out that his lost love has joined the Philippine resistance and sets out to try and find her while dealing with an enemy spy in the ranks.
