A battered warship. A wounded crew. A voyage that should have been impossible.

On February 4, 1942, in the dangerous waters of the Dutch East Indies, the USS Marblehead came under attack from Japanese bombers. Struck by enemy fire, burning, listing, and badly damaged, the American light cruiser seemed unlikely to survive.

But the men aboard refused to abandon her.

Where Away: A Modern Odyssey tells the extraordinary true story of the USS Marblehead and the sailors who fought to keep their ship alive against overwhelming odds. With her hull damaged, her systems crippled, and safe repair ports out of reach, the Marblehead began a long and perilous journey across oceans toward home.

Written with the force and immediacy of a wartime account, this book captures the fear, discipline, endurance, and courage of men tested by battle, fire, flooding, exhaustion, and the sea itself.

For readers of World War II history, U.S. Navy stories, naval warfare, and true accounts of survival at sea, Where Away is a gripping and unforgettable record of courage under fire.
