"Hostile Shore" shows a pilot executing a dive maneuver to evade attack.

Contains 4 stories
Hostile Shore
7 pp · War

A MiG attack forces the submarine USS Cuttler to dive off the North Korean coast, but Ensign Ward Devlin is left behind on deck. Using tide tables and charts, the crew calculates where the current will carry him—and risks shallow waters, enemy artillery, and Communist troops to bring him back alive. This is a war story about duty and the lengths a crew will go for one of their own.

Shark Lagoon
6 pp · War

Lt. Reese Waltham and his fellow diver volunteer for a perilous CIA mission off the Cuban coast to retrieve crucial intelligence, only to discover that enemy forces have weaponized the waters itself—training man-eating sharks to attack on command. Racing against time and a deadly underwater gauntlet, the pair must navigate the shark-infested lagoon and reach their submarine extraction point with the film that could change everything.

The Last Victory of Wilhelm Von Zee
10 pp · War

A U.S. Navy officer who once survived an encounter with Kapitan Wilhelm Von Zee recounts the legendary U-boat commander's career from their first meeting in 1941 through his most audacious operations—including a daring attack deep in a Scottish port and relentless hunts against Allied convoys. As the war intensifies and Von Zee's conscience begins to weigh against the Nazi regime's brutal orders, the officer finds himself studying his quarry's tactics, realizing that this skilled and conflicted enemy may be far more complex than he initially believed. "The Last Victory of Wilhelm Von Zee" traces the collision course between two warriors on opposite sides of an unforgiving war.

Special Assignment
2 pp · War

During the 1964 D-Day invasion, the British Navy assigns two five-man midget submarines a crucial but perilous task: to surface near the French coast and serve as navigational guides for the incoming invasion fleet, marking safe channels with beacons and flags. Under relentless fire from German artillery and aircraft, the tiny crews maintain their position and direct the landing craft to their objectives, proving that courage on a steel needle can change the course of history.
