BLURB

 

World War III will be the war of the submarine.

Undersea technology has changed the world, and every nation wants territory. No one wants war—or plans for it—but a series of unrelated incidents, mix-ups, and greedy grabs for ocean-floor real estate escalates straight into a shooting war that no one knows how to stop...one that engulfs the Indian Ocean and threatens to spill out towards the rest of the world.

​

Old alliances are overturned and new ones form, with the Grand Alliance of the U.S., U.K., and Australia facing off against Russia, India, and France. Caught by surprise, the world rushes to choose sides...and the U.S. Navy rushes into a war for which it may not be ready. Once the greatest navy in the world, by 2039, American submariners find themselves outnumbered and outgunned. It’s not their fault that the politicians back home didn’t expect war, but now sailors like Commander Alex Coleman are left facing the consequences.

​

For his part, Alex is damn sure he’s no hero. He’s awkward, unorthodox, and has a habit of making fireballs out of coffee creamer when he isn't ruining his own career by committing near mutiny. But when war comes knocking, he might just be the reluctant hero the U.S. Navy needs. With a boat old enough to drink and a crew a few beers short of a six pack, no one expects him to make a difference...until the enemy gets a vote.

​

Conventional submariners rarely make history.

​

Submarines that make history rarely survive.
