1 out of every 3 submarines deploying isn’t coming home.
Will Alex Coleman’s boat beat the odds?
No one expected war, and the U.S. Navy has paid the price. Once the greatest Navy in the world, by 2039, American submariners find themselves outnumbered and outgunned by an alliance of France, India, and the enemy lurking in the dark: Russia. It’s not their fault that the politicians back home didn’t expect war as the world expanded into underwater territory, but now sailors like Commander Alex Coleman are left facing the consequences.Alex’s boat is old enough to drink and his crew is a few beers short of a six pack. But he’s got to pull them together before embarking on a dangerous mission into the undersea wild west to rescue scientists working on a top secret project. If he doesn’t, no one will miss the U.S. Navy’s oldest attack submarine. But if he does…he might just change the world.
Can Alex and his fellows overcome enemy submariners with newer boats, quieter technology, and faster torpedoes? Or will more submariners rest on the ocean bottom on eternal patrol?
