Plot summary
Days before Independence Day, Danny Kovac, Adam Vandermeer and Jason Foley, three twelve-year-old military brats in Key West, find a Russian-language codebook and a wrecked raft from a Soviet warship while heading out to their hideout. Danny finds the sailor it carried, Mischa Pushkin, waiting in their bunker with a gun. Adam and Jason return and the boys overpower him. Danny argues for turning Mischa over to the police, while Adam prefers diplomacy. Because Mischa has a dislocated arm and none of them knows medicine, they bring in Adam's sister Diane, a nursing student, to treat it. Jason sides with Adam about keeping the sailor hidden from the authorities.
