Something very strange happened on a burning flight deck. Something supernatural. Something unexplainable.They say "there are no atheists in foxholes." But when the flight deck of an aircraft carrier erupts in flames, there are no foxholes to hide in. What happens when bombs and planes begin exploding all over that flight deck, and a hardcore Christian-hating atheist is compelled to face his own mortality?This true-life first-person narrative answers that question as it carries you from a seven-year-old boy's brush with death, to his moment of truth fourteen years later, facing one of the most devastating disasters to strike the U.S. Navy since World War Two.A novel, based on a true story. It's a piece of often-forgotten Navy history. But more importantly, it's a personal "coming-of-age" journey we can all relate to.
