No one expected war, and the U.S. Navy has paid the price. Once the greatest Navy in the world, by 2039, American submariners find themselves outnumbered and outgunned by an alliance of France, India, and the enemy lurking in the dark: Russia. It’s not their fault that the politicians back home didn’t expect war as the world expanded into underwater territory, but now sailors like Commander Alex Coleman are left facing the consequences.

Alex Coleman had a chance to end World War III before it started. Instead, he lost an unwinnable battle. Now, he finally has command of his own submarine, but USS Jimmy Carter is old enough to drink, his crew is a few beers short of a six pack, and no one—particularly the admiral who hates him—expects him to make a difference.

A band of modern-day pirates station-hops across the Indian Ocean.

Commander Kurt Kins and USS Darter, however, seem to have a magic touch—they’ve been among the best of the best from the start. Kins loves action and he’s never backed down from a challenge. Faced with clever Russian enemies who are out to make their nation a superpower once more, he knows he has his work cut out for him.
