In late 1944, America's naval forces face what seems an insurmountable
threat from Japan: immense Yamato-class battleships, which dwarf every
other ship at sea. Built in secrecy, these ships seem invincible, and
lay waste to any challengers. American military intelligence knows of
two such ships, but there is rumored to be a third, a newly-built
aircraft carrier, ready to launch from Japan's heavily-defended and
mined Inland Sea. Such a ship would threaten U.S. Pacific forces, allow
Japan to launch air attacks against the U.S. mainland, and change the
course of the war.No American submarine has penetrated the
Inland Sea; five boats and their crews have perished in the Bungo Suido
strait. Lieutenant Commander Gar Hammond - an aggressive, attacking
leader with a reckless streak - is now captain of a new
submarine. Hammond may be the navy's only hope to locate and stop the
Japanese super-ship before it launches . . . if it even exists. Views: 294

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy—a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.
Now the Legacy is fading. On the other side, the banished Daemron stirs. And across the scattered corners of the land, four children are born of suffering and strife, each touched by one aspect of Daemron himself—wizard, warrior, prophet, king.
Bound by a connection deeper than blood, the Children of Fire will either restore the Legacy or bring it crashing down, freeing Daemron to wreak his vengeance upon the mortal world. Views: 294
