“50,000 Apply. 1,200 Are Accepted. Only The Best Survive”
Jake Huard, from a shipbuilders family, promised his dying mother he'ld make it to Anapolis Naval Academy. Thanks to tenaciously bugging a Congressman, he's selected despite dubious grades. Once inside, Jake soon proves sub-standard academically. Constantly challenged to his limits, repeatedly made the 'over-cocky' reason for the entire class to suffer, Jake nearly quits, but after facing his utterly un-supportive father's gloating returns just in time. Stubborn Jake finds support withs mates as well as Senor Ali, his lover-to-be, and a discipline he may excel in: the 'brigade' boxing tournament, open to all ranks.
A hard-charging, no-holds-barred look at the grueling physical and emotional toll of military training. It's a story of pushing past limits, finding inner strength, and the relentless pursuit of honor amidst intense competition.
