Crash Dive: The Complete Series chronicles the adventures of Charlie Harrison as he fights the Imperial Japanese Navy during WW2. Gripping, action-packed, authentic, and filled with larger-than-life men and women of the Greatest Generation, Crash Dive puts you aboard a submarine during the war.

You'll stand alongside Charlie as he proves himself time and again by keeping his wits and being decisive in crisis, though each encounter leaves him more heavily scarred for it. You'll attack a convoy in a daring night surface attack, emerge in a sea fog to ambush a battle group, and charge the battleship Yamato during the decisive Battle of Leyte Gulf. All the while, you'll live with the crew in the cramped, noisy, and challenging machine that was a diesel-electric submarine.

Crash Dive: The Complete Series puts together for the first time all six episodes in Craig DiLouie's highly acclaimed historical military fiction series: Crash Dive, Silent Running, Battle Stations, Contact!, Hara-Kiri, and Over the Hill.

great series

I have over 800 books in my Audible library, this is a top 10.

Holy smokes

This is one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever heard. RC Bray is the GOAT! Didn’t want it to end. Phenomenal in every way

Wow

Terrific saga the Pacific war in submarines. The characters are completely fleshed out and the narration is compelling.

Ten star book

This is a great story with excellent narration. It has fabulous reviews for a reason.

I listened to all six books without taking a breath. Wish there were six more in the series.

the book is incredible.

RC Bray may be the best narrator on audible. Given this amazing content to read from DiLouie it is one of the best listening I've ever done.

I’ve read 600 books on Audible. This ranks in the Top 3.

What an incredible story and the narrator is R.C Bray. I crushed the entire series in a week over Christmas 🎄 Thanksgiving you for the ride gentlemen.
ps. It’s based on trie stories

Gets better with each succeeding book

This has been a highly enjoyable series centered around the underwater war in the Pacific. There are errors and poetic license throughout the books but then again, this is fiction not a documentary. The good thing is that the author has obviously taken feedback from each volume and made the next one better. For instance, the first time he had the sub getting underway, he made the "Hollywood" error of having the crew cast off their lines. Navy ships, including subs, and almost all ships for that matter, never "cast off.." They "take in" their lines and stow them aboard. By volume three he'd corrected that little detail. He even learned about shifting colors by the third book. Now if he'd only learn about sounding three short blasts when backing. About the only real criticism I have at this point is that either Craig doesn't know how long a football field is or he's really bewildered by how big a Japanese cruiser was. Twice in the first three books he referred to an enemy heavy cruiser being "six football fields long." Now that is one impressive heavy cruiser, considering that a Nimitz class carrier is only three football fields in length. A cruiser that's 1800 feet in length would be quite impressive and really fun to maneuver. Heavy cruisers were about 600 to 700 feet in length. Not a big deal but I enjoyed the comic image. As for the narration, one can never go wrong with R.C. Bray, though throughout the series I kept waiting for Skippy the Magnificent to appear. If you've listened to Bray narrate Craig Alanson's terrific "Expeditionary Force" series, you know what I mean. About the only goof Bray made in the series was saying that the Browning Automatic Rifle or Bee A Are was called a bar, like where all of us Navy guys like to hang out when we get into port. Skippy would give him grief for that meatsack error. All in all, this is a good military fiction series with excellent battle scenes and a colorful cast of characters, some over the top, but still enjoyable. Don't let the minor inaccuracies distract you or rile you. It's fiction.

Excellent - Make it into a move or TV series

Excellent!!! I wish they would make this into a move or TV series. Highly recommend this book series

An epic WWII story

This incorporates multiple accounts of the submarine war into a series of books that follow several well developed characters through realistic action from the beginning to the end. It’s an ongoing adaptation that becomes more real as one listens on. Very well done. I thank the author.

Great story

The audiobook started out a little slow but continues to get better. I highly recommend this book to listening to
