Submariners who make history rarely come home. Commander Alex Coleman was watching paint dry when World War III started. Everyone expected China to be the Big Bad, but while China was busy with their own civil war, India, France, and Russia started gobbling up prime territory on the ocean floor. Stealth being the best gig in warfare, submarines are at the forefront of this unexpected conflict. Enter USS Jimmy America’s oldest attack submarine.

Being contrary, unorthodox, and good at pissing admirals off got Alex sentenced to a sub meant for the breakers. His crew is assembled of rejects and misfits no one else wants, from the cowardly XO to the drunk sonar tech. The Navy prefers them all on the sidelines, and no one expects them to matter. But sometimes even the U.S. Navy forgets that the enemy gets a vote.

So, when his boat sets sail to escort Convoy 57 though an unimportant patch of the Indian Ocean, Alex anticipates another dull milk run. Not a battle no one can win. Missiles start raining down, and when their boring escort becomes an all-out firestorm, Alex and USS Jimmy Carter are all that stand between thousands of civilian refugees and an enemy armada. One ancient submarine against dozens of enemies makes for terrible odds...and even victory might end in death for Alex’s crew of rejects.

It’s the first real battle of Alex’s career. Does he have what it takes to save his crew from this fiery inferno?

Or will Alex Coleman and Jimmy Carter join the long list of the fallen?

    Incredible story, very well told

    With 31 years in the service (6 in the Navy and 25 in the Air Force, Vet Nam followed years later with Desert Storm) I can't say enough about how well the author writes such realistic story's. Her service time has done her well and her stories shows both crews and their Officers as real people overcoming obstacles as only being in one of the services can do.
    Congratulations on another well written book, looking forward to reading your next.

    Some Great Naval Battles

    Another good book in the series. As a former submariner my self I like the plot of these books. Still some missing words that cause me to reread sentences but the plots are good. Getting ready to read the next one!

    Roberts is an amazing author

    I have read a number of submarine based books and this series is by far the best. I think I have found a new favorite author!
