And even the characters :'D Let's dive in.  ____________ This book started with a prologue, which didn't make much sense in the beginning.  It's the year 1943, and Captain Alan Pickett is trying to make his ship survive as the captain doesn't want the enemies to take over the cargo they are carrying, but the enemies around are trying har...
