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 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?

Fire When Ready is the third book in the series War of the Submarine, also published as Season 3 of the War of the Submarine serial on Kindle Vella. The book version has been expanded with additional scenes and chapters not available in the serial.

Fire When Ready: War of the Submarine: Book 3 Reviews

  • Kevin Sells

    Good but unnecessarily longer

    This is a fine addition to the series. Good action and fine dialogue. There's a lot of superfluous filler material though. So it makes for some tedious sections. But overall, the continuity is good and the story gets better. The characters are compelling and relatable. Moving right into the next entry.

  • Bim Lindsey

    I usually read one book in a series and then go to another author before coming back to the series. This one has me reading them back to back. Love the overall.plot with the many focus'.
    Author is very good, the editor has missed spellings and words but not enough to throw you off.

  • Dennis E. Flynn

    Fun Read

    Good plot and a fun story. A couple of long parts but overall a fast read. Still seeing missing words which can be annoying.

  • Ian Birtwell

    Enjoyed the story and I've finally got used to all the characters involved; That's taken a while! Looking forward to getting into the next book in the series 'I Will Try'.
