Commander Battle and the Atomic Sub #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCommander Battle and the Atomic Sub encounter Chinese forces in the woods after their submarine becomes stranded. Bill Battle must use his deadly accurate gunmanship to fight off multiple enemy aces in hand-to-hand combat. The Commandos attempt to reach their guide's signal in a clearing while evading pursuit, but the enemy closes in with an atomic bomb payload that detonates, destroying the heart of the United States with a massive explosion.
This historical sketch traces undersea warfare from its early origins in 1627 through modern times, showcasing how the submarine evolved from a crude experimental vessel into a formidable weapon of war—and ultimately into America's atomic-powered future. Spanning centuries of naval innovation, the story documents the deadly progression from primitive torpedo attacks to German U-boats, Japanese submersibles, and finally the cutting-edge atomic submarine that promises to safeguard freedom of the seas.
Jonnie Flint finds himself trapped behind enemy lines, but his faith pays off when fellow atomic commandos Bill Battle and Champ Ruggles mount a daring midnight rescue—scaling walls, overpowering guards, and fighting their way to the woods as the entire villa descends into chaos. Once airborne aboard the Atomic Sub with Doc Blake, Jonnie reveals intelligence about a secret military base hidden in the Arctic ice that could launch a catastrophic attack at any moment, forcing the President and Joint Chiefs of Staff to authorize an unconventional mission that only the Sub's unique capabilities can execute.
