Story
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.

After a harrowing war patrol in the Sea of Japan, the US submarines of Wolfpack 351 are low on fuel, torpedoes, and morale.

Facing the imminent destruction of the entire wolfpack and with few options remaining, the American admirals in Pearl Harbor turn to an aging submarine, the only boat close enough to help.

She was a monster, sleek and gleaming, designed to strike without warning like the dreaded shark. She was the USS Mako, as fearless and bold as any submarine that ever prowled the blue Pacific. Her mission: seek out and destroy the hitherto invincible ships of the Japanese Imperial Navy - and revenge the earlier defeats of a long and dirty war. Here is the story of the men who pitted their lives against impossible odds in the most dangerous branch of the American armed services.

As they listened to the death throes of their sister ship Mako sinking in the Pacific where the waters were six miles deep, the crew of USS Eelfish suddenly came of age. They were a new breed: a brand-new fleet submarine crewed by draftees and reservists. Hidebound regular Navy officers believed they wouldn't fight. But fight they did with reckless abandon, proving themselves on two fronts - against the Japanese at sea, and against their own Admirals, who clung to outmoded concepts of how to wage war under the sea.

The career of the USS Wahoo in sinking Japanese ships in the farthest reaches of the Empire is legendary in submarine circles. Christened three months after Pearl Harbor, Wahoo was commanded by the astonishing Dudley W. "Mush" Morton, whose originality and daring new techniques led to results unprecedented in naval history; among them, successful "down the throat" barrage against an attacking Japanese destroyer, voracious surface-running gun attacks, and the sinking of a four-ship convoy in one day.

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.

In late 1944, America’s recapture of the Philippines is jeopardized by what seems an insurmountable threat from Japan: immense Yamato-class battleships, which dwarf every other ship at sea. Built in total secrecy, these 76,000-ton warships seem invincible. American military intelligence knows of two such ships, but there are rumors of a third, built not as a battleship but as an aircraft carrier. Now ready to go operational from Japan’s heavily defended and mined Inland Sea, a carrier of that size could disrupt the entire invasion effort.

It was an unprovoked attack, a deliberate act of aggression. When Vice Admiral Mike Brannon of the US Navy received word that the wreck of the Sharkfin had been found, with a gaping hole in its stern, he could only conclude that the Soviets had, without warning, attacked and destroyed a US nuclear submarine. He could not let the incident pass without retaliation. Yet whatever steps he took, he risked leading the two superpowers into a state of war.

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.

Lazy Writer
The writer couldn't be bothered to keep the small details true to the times. He calls the Chief of the Boat (COB) a Master Chief, the rate of Master Chief was not established until 1958. The author refers to the UCMJ several times, the UCMJ was not enacted until 1951. Before that U.S Navy used what was known as Rocks and Shoals. In addition 600Psi air is used to blow main ballast tanks ,not 3000psi as he often states. These and other small details that are wrong or did not exist at that time frame make this book unlistenable for me.

A good read
It would be best if the readers knowledge of WW 2 fleet boats was limited so the Whitefins actions would be more believable. Other than military nomenclature being misused and liberty being taken with the boats operating practices this is a very good historical fiction 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.
