Contains 5 stories
Mousetrap
8 pp · war
Lt. Gus OsborneRear Admiral Blainey

Lt. Gus Osborne spots a Japanese submarine and gives chase, but the trap snaps shut—he's lured a Japanese cruiser into a narrow harbor where the waters run shallow. In a daring gambit, Osborne plants depth charges set to detonate under the cruiser's hull as it pursues him back to open water, sinking the enemy vessel and earning the attention of Rear Admiral Blainey's fleet. Now the Admiral sees an opportunity: use Osborne's small patrol craft as bait to draw in heavier Japanese warships, planning to spring a larger ambush—but first, the crew must abandon ship and hope the reinforcements arrive in time.

The Snorkel
1 pp · war

During World War II, Nazi U-boats posed a devastating threat to Allied shipping until new sub-hunting techniques turned the tide—but the Germans had an ingenious answer waiting in the wings. This story explores how the Dutch-invented snorkel device could have revolutionized underwater warfare, allowing U-boats to run their diesel engines while submerged and maintain top speed without surfacing. Discover why this highly efficient innovation arrived too late to change the course of the war.

Flames of Death
6 pp · war
George TekolskyTim AlstonLt. Barlow

During the Battle of the Coral Sea, gunner Tim Alston struggles with fear and self-doubt after his hesitation allows George Tekolsky to be wounded, but when enemy bombers and zeros press the attack on his ship, he must find the courage to man his twin .40MM guns as one of the last anti-aircraft defenses available. As the battle intensifies and casualties mount, Alston discovers that facing his terror head-on—with Lt. Barlow at his side—might be the only way to protect his wounded friend and his crew from the flames of death closing in around them.

Hit the Beach
1 pp · war

During World War II, Navy and Coast Guard coxswains piloted landing craft under fire to bring combat troops ashore at crucial amphibious battles—a role that demanded split-second skill and nerves of steel. This story follows these unsung heroes as they navigate the chaos of beach landings across the Pacific, from Anzio to Okinawa, risking everything to get their men safely to shore and back again.

Treachery in the Caribbean
8 pp · war
Lt. Bradford LewisBronskyLt. M.J. Babcock

During the Caribbean campaign of World War I, Lt. Bradford Lewis's British patrol boat is sunk by a German Q-boat—a disguised raider that vanishes into the sea. When an American destroyer arrives to rescue Lewis and his men, its commander, Lt. M.J. Babcock, learns the raider's identity and course, but soon encounters a second merchant vessel that bears a suspicious resemblance to the attacker. Babcock begins to suspect the Germans are using a clever deception to evade pursuit, and he and Lewis must work together to uncover the truth before the raider strikes again. Letters by typeset.
