Author, Harry Mazer masterfully foreshadows the impending bombing of Pearl Harbor with conflicts in the sub-plot of this novel. Adam’s father, an officer assigned to the USS Arizona, insists that Adam end his association with his new friend Davi because his parents are Japanese. Lt. Pelko felt that with the anti-Japanese sentiment on the island, Adam’s friendship with Davi would reflect badly on his family, and, as a result, the United States Navy. The thought of ending the first real friendship he has had for a very long time saddens and angers Adam, who knows that his entire family lives by the unspoken rules of the Navy. This underlying conflict of racism, distrust, and anxiety sets a mood of uneasiness as Adam secretly goes fishing with Davi at Pearl Harbor on that infamous December morning.
