Dig Two Graves

A WWII Submarine Adventure Novel (USS Bull Shark Naval Thriller Series, Book 9)

When a world war becomes a personal vendetta… death is the only winner…

After a devastating attack by a downed Japanese aircraft, Art Turner and the men of Bull Shark try to forget and relax in the rustic Western Australian port of Fremantle. Yet war is never far away, and the battle cry once more draws the submarine into danger.

Uncle Charlie Lockwood has a special side mission for Art Turner. A British commando needs to get to Timor and reunite with the Australian guerrilla fighters he’s trained… and who he was forced to leave behind when the Japanese invaded. Due to lack of manpower, however, several men from turner’s crew must make certain the vital equipment gets where it needs to go.

Riddled with guilt and anger, Art Turner decides that he’s not about to leave his men in someone else’s hands. Against doctrine and against advice, their Captain is going in with his men… leaving Elmer Williams in command… where a deadly surprise lurks just offshore.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, the sailors ashore and the sailors aboard Bull Shark must not only fight but outthink clever and bloodthirsty enemies. Plans within plans unwind as personal grievances threaten to spill over in rivers of blood!

Guns thunder, torpedoes scream and rifles crack in this tension-filled Naval thriller

Prime example of PTSD

This is a prime example of why it is sometimes necessary to temporarily relieve a commander of duty while on a mission. The fact that none of his subordinates that had the power to do such did not even discuss it early on is disgusting to say the least. However this is a great book that makes a fantastic example of just such a situation.

Captain’s tribulations…

Different, not use to Art dealing with PTSD. It won’t rank on top of all the adventures, but interesting just the same. Looking forward to the Jarvis portion of this book.

Great character, depth, and interaction

I will go over 400 titles. Listen to with this series this stands up. Good writing, good narrator, so it’s good.
