☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe lead story "The Jinx" follows a submarine crew engaged in Pacific warfare during World War II. After a torpedo from their vessel destroys a Japanese tanker and ignites fuel tanks on shore, the crew narrowly escapes enemy fire and manages to submerge. The Japanese gunners' repeated misses allow Lieutenant Mike Beneker's submarine to evade multiple attacks, though the vessel is damaged in the process, with the story ending as the submarine prepares to dive for safety.
When a Nazi Q-boat disguised as a freighter cripples the U.S.S. Redback and tows the American submarine into a Caribbean port, Lt. Mike Dougal and his hidden crew must act fast—they've got less than two hours before the raider is fully secured and their chance is gone. With cool planning and help from an unexpected ally, they'll turn the tables on their captors in a daring bid to reclaim their boat and strike back at the enemy.
When the U.S.S. Rayfin gets a new captain, Lt. Buzz Roberts, the crew's resentment runs deep—they're still grieving the loss of their beloved commander, Lt. Comdr. Sam Atherton. Roberts brings in Chief Boatswain's Mate Smilin' Joe Dexter with a cunning strategy: by becoming the crew's common enemy through relentless, petty discipline, Joe absorbs all their anger and gives Roberts the breathing room to prove himself as a commander. As the submarine heads out on war patrol, the crew begins to see their skipper in a new light, even as they fantasize about settling scores with the infuriating chief once they're back in port.
When a panicked seaman named Blackie Weems accidentally surfaces the U.S.S. Mimalog during a dangerous patrol near Guam in 1942, he becomes the crew's worst liability—until the submarine spots a major Japanese task force assembling in the harbor. After a devastating torpedo attack orchestrated by Lt. Mike Beneker, the real test begins: as enemy destroyers close in with depth charges, Weems must confront his fear and prove himself when a catastrophic battery leak threatens to kill everyone aboard.
