Shattered by the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, the U.S. is rebuilding its fleet while the badly damaged Submarine Division Seven holds the line against the Japanese Navy. The loss of even one more submarine could be devastating - and every enemy ship that slips through means more lives lost. But Lieutenant Commander Jack Tremain is determined to whip into shape a boat that's returned from a hellish patrol and make the Japanese pay - even if this is his last mission ever.

Under the leadership of her fearless skipper, Captain Gene Fluckey, the Barb sank the greatest tonnage of any American sub in World War II. At the same time, the Barb did far more than merely sink ships-she changed forever the way submarines stalk and kill their prey.

This is a gripping adventure chock-full of "you-are-there" moments. Fluckey has drawn on logs, reports, letters, interviews, and a recently discovered illegal diary kept by one of his torpedomen.

It was a time for America and her heroes: men like Michael and Andrew O'Connor, rival brothers fresh out of Annapolis, men who left all they knew and loved to seek glory in a world at war. Mike beneath the ocean aboard the USS Tigerfish, Andrew in the air as a fighter pilot ace. Theirs was a baptism by fire, yet they rose to confront a brutal enemy across the sea-and to chase the explosive dreams that could ultimately destroy them.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the US Navy had a total of 111 submarines. It was mostly a collection of aging boats. Fortunately, with the war in Europe was already two years old and friction with Japan ever increasing, help from what would become known as the Silent Service in the Pacific was on the way: there were 73 of the new fleet submarines under construction. The Silent Service in World War II tells the story of America's intrepid underwater warriors in the words of the men who lived the war in the Pacific against Japan.

Action packed sea adventure

I picked up this bite of fact from this book: Cooke states that the US Navy underwater forces in the Pacific fought the only successful submarine campaign in either 20th century world conflicts.

The Shigure was a Japanese destroyer equipped with the latest anti-submarine weapons. It sunk the USS Seatrout. Jack Tremaine was newly assigned to command the USS Whitefin. The Seatrout was his first command so he was seeking vengeance on the Shigure.

The book is well written but I do not think it is as well written as Cooke’s prior book “Pride Runs Deep”. The second half of the book is nonstop action under the sea and on land. Cooke does a good job with battle scenes. Overall it makes a good action packed get- away- from- it- all book.

The book is about 14 hours long. Tim Campbell does a good job narrating the book.

Not as Good as "Pride Runs Deep"

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The constant portrayal of twin dolphin navy personnel being money grubbing scum and criminals ruined this complicated story. I've read too many first hand accounts to accept many of the characters in this book.

Would you ever listen to anything by R. Cameron Cooke again?

He's 1-1 with me so far. Not as likely after this book.

What about Tim Campbell’s performance did you like?

The voice characterizations are good. The narrator was fine.

Could you see Sink the Shigure being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Starring Donald Trump as Shelby, yes.

Any additional comments?

It's just fiction. No one got hurt. None of the characters really exists.

"Thunder Below" "The Bravest Man" and many other nonfiction books about the US submarines are so much better.

Poor attempt to turn fact into fiction

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

People who have no knowledge of naval history or have never seen even a couple of b/w submarine movies and are stranded on an island with only this book, might enjoy it.

What could R. Cameron Cooke have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Eliminate almost all of the second half of the book. Apparently he got paid by the word. He could also learn to write dialogue and make an attempt at character development.

What about Tim Campbell’s performance did you like?

It was adequate, but could have had more variation in pace and drama depending upon the moment in this strange book.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment in money and time wasted. His first book was average, which lured me into this way too long and disjointed dog.

Any additional comments?

The book is a bad compilation of some actual events from WWII subs, primarily from Wahoo, Tang, Barb and a few others, BUT the characters are comic book at best, and then there is this whole second half of the book which seems to have been written by a committee. The author actually does bring in some interesting factual bits now and then, but more to show he knows them or as road signs flashing by. For a much more exciting and actually true story I strongly suggest: "The Bravest Man" by William Tuohy. This is about Richard O'Kane (USS Wahoo, USS Tang) and is both dramatic, and realistic, since it is true. Another great WWII sub story, also true is: "Thunder Below" by Eugene Fluckey, who was also a very successful sub commander (USS Barb). If you have already read either or both of these, then Cooke's attempt will really grate on you.
