The Stars Shall Burn
(2025)(The sixth book in the War of the Submarine series)
A novel by R G Roberts
World War I was the war of the battleship. World War II was the war of the aircraft carrier. World War III will be the war of the submarine.
Captain Alex Coleman is at the top of his game. Fresh off defeating the “best submarine captain in the world,” he’s well-nigh unbeatable...or so everyone says. But World War III remains a desperate conflict, and the United States and her allies have their backs against the wall. Alliance submarines and their crews continue to disappear at an alarming rate, so it’s up to Alex and the crew of USS Bluefish to pull impossible mission after impossible mission off yet again.This time, it won’t be easy. No one’s going to underestimate Alex ever again. Even worse, he finds himself—an introvert with the habit of saying just the wrong thing when a camera is around—saddled with the submarine navy’s first embedded reporter. Facing a rival in the form of his own former captain, who hates the very ground Alex stands on, as well as enemy submariners burning to make their reputation out of bringing him down, Alex must figure out how to keep pulling off the miracles that his country needs to keep them in the fight. But as missile shortages cripple the surface fleet, the pressure just keeps ratcheting up...
Alex has danced where the fire is hottest since earning the Congressional Medal of Honor defending Convoy 57. He reshaped a failing crew and gave them confidence. Then he took down the premier submariner of the twenty-first century. But can he keep this pace up, or will he finally crack? Can even Alex Coleman continue to take the fight to the enemy after so long on the front lines?
The Stars Shall Burn is a story of good leaders, bad leaders, war, and the visceral impact combat has on even the best of us, continuing the story of the War of the Submarine.
