The Silver Waterfall: A Novel of the Battle of Midway

Kevin Miller

The Silver Waterfall is the story of the men who fought the Battle of Midway over three momentous days in June, 1942. Men uncertain, determined, fearful and courageous. Men under crushing pressure, desperate and hopeful. Their story is one of daring, of unfathomable loss, of survival inside rickety airplanes and burning ships. What happened off Midway is a story of reckless pride, and cold realization.


The Silver Waterfall

is an unforgettable human story - a factual historic fiction account honoring those who fought

in one of the most pivotal naval battles in world history.

Praise for this book

Masterful. Kevin Miller's historical fiction account of the Battle of Midway is an epic read. Not since Herman Wouk's War and Remembrance has this seminal moment been told with such allure.

- Peter Fey, Author of Bloody Sixteen: The USS Oriskany and Air Wing 16 during the Vietnam War


The Silver Waterfall brings Midway to life like no other book. Masterfully written with the amazing accuracy he's known for, Miller puts the reader on ships' bridges, in aircraft cockpits, and into the hearts and minds of the combatants. A must read.

- Vincent Aiello, host of The Fighter Pilot Podcast


Kevin Miller delivers the perfect amalgam of vivid military history and unforgettable fiction. The Silver Waterfall evokes the drama and raw terror of the battle that changed the course of the war. Historical fiction at its best.

- Robert Gandt, author of Angels in the Sky and The Twilight Warriors.


Meticulously researched, Kevin Miller writes of an environment one can know only through personal experience. The Silver Waterfall is destined to take a rightful place beside Michener's Toko-Ri for Miller's vivid portrayal of the intensity of combat aboard aircraft carriers.

- RADM Robert Besal, USN (ret.)


Captain Kevin Miller writes an absolutely riveting work of historical fiction. The Silver Waterfall brings Midway to life in a narrative that puts the reader in battle with the warriors on both sides. Put this one on your must-read list.

- CAPT George Galdorisi, USN (ret.) author of The Coronado Conspiracy
