description: A NOVEL YOU WILL EVER FORGET ... This powerful and breathtaking novel is the story of four cadets who have became bloodbrothers. Together they will encounter the hell of hazing and the rabid, raunchy and dangerously secretive atmosphere of an arrogant and porud military institute. They will experience the violence. The passion. The rage. The Friendship. The loyalty. The betraal. Together, they will brace themselves for the brutal transition to manhood ... and one will not survive. With all the dramati brilliance he brought to THE GREAT SANTINI, Pat Conroy sweeps you into the turbulent world of these four friends -- and draws you deep into the heart of his rebellious hero, Will McLean, an outsider forging his personal code of honor, who falls in love with Annie Kate, a mysterious and whimsical beauty who first appear to him one midnight in sunglasses and raincoat.
