Leviathan Rising: A WWII Submarine Adventure Novel

USS Bull Shark Naval Thriller Series, Book 2

Admiral Yamamoto is preparing the strike that could shatter the American carrier fleet—and change the course of the Pacific war.

As USS Bull Shark races toward Pearl Harbor following her clash with a deadly Nazi Q-ship, Captain Art Turner faces trouble inside his own command. New officers, internal rivalries, and a crew still forging its identity threaten the boat’s readiness for the battles ahead.

Meanwhile, American intelligence is running out of time. Ultra intercepts reveal that Japan is preparing a massive offensive—but critical details remain hidden. Somewhere across the vast Pacific, the Imperial Navy is assembling a strike force designed to destroy Fletcher’s carriers and seize Midway Island.

But Midway is only part of Yamamoto’s plan.

Even as four powerful Japanese fleets move into position, a secret weapon is being prepared beneath the waves. An experimental enemy submarine is dispatched on a covert mission that could cripple the American war effort before the decisive clash even begins.

Caught between fragile command tensions and an enemy threat unlike any they have faced before, Turner and his crew must prepare Bull Shark for her most dangerous patrol yet.

As history accelerates toward one of the most decisive naval battles ever fought, Bull Shark must find her place in the gathering storm.

Because at Midway, there will be only one victor.

Great acted out drama

Great story I like how it jumped around to different areas of the story and then came back together to paint a broader picture

Interesting Tale

I enjoyed most of this book. I thought that the drug ring side plot was unneeded. But it was a fun read

Epic

My mind is stimulated for hours and I look forward to going to bed -Owen

History and adventure

An engaging tale. While not quite accurate historically, the characters are terrific portrayals of officers and men in combat conditions. Been there.

The character development and the story.

The author weaves history in so well you almost forget it is a work of fiction. I thoroughly enjoyed it
