Grenade
HK$112.00
DESCRIPTION :
It's 1945, and the world is in the grip of war.
Hideki lives with his family on the island of
Okinawa, near Japan. When the Second World
War crashes onto his shores, Hideki is drafted to fight
for the Japanese army. He is handed a grenade
and a set of instructions: Don't come back until you've killed
an American soldier.
Ray, a young American Marine,
has just landed on Okinawa. This is Ray's first-ever battle,
and he doesn't know what to expect -- or if he'll
make it out alive. All he knows that the enemy is everywhere.
Hideki and Ray each fight their way across the island, surviving
heart-pounding ambushes and dangerous
traps. But then the two of them collide
in the middle of the battle... And choices they make in that single
instant will change everything.
Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee, returns
with this high-octane story of how fear and war tear us apart,
but how hope and redemption tie us together.
