Publisher's Summary:
The fourth book in the popular Crash Dive series!
Still reeling from the hellish battle in the Japan Sea, Lt. Commander Charlie Harrison returns from Prospective Commanding Officer School to find the Sandtiger languishing in repair while her crew idles. He expects to take command, but the post is given to Captain Howard Saunders.
Sandtigers orders: Take a team of elite commandos to the island of Saipan to destroy a major coastal gun before 70,000 Marines land on its beaches. Once Saipan is taken, American bombers will be able to reach Tokyo. For the Japanese Empire, this triggers kantai kessen - the final decisive naval battle.
When disaster strikes, Charlie must save his submarine and salvage the mission, battling his erratic commander while fighting the enemy. Along the way, he learns sacrifice and the true cost of war.

Cant Wait for the next story.
I have always been a history buff and WW11 has been a favorite. Especially the undersea life of Silent Service. If you like constant action packed stories do not miss this novel. Could not put the book down. Cold and snowy day and read even in middle of a ballgame. That Good.. Now we can look forward to Mr. DiLouie finishing #5. Hope Soon.
It reads well as a stand alone book but. ...
It reads well as a stand alone book but .. It is one of a series of four and while the plot changes the story line does not from book to book. In point of fact on three subs if two skippers died and one became disabled on three successive patrols, the hero would never get another berth on a sub. Too much superstition in WWII USN.
Loved it
I absolutely love this series. Every new book cranks up the suspense more than the last. Looking forward to the next in the series!
A Fantastic 3rd Book
This is a perfect continuation of the series. I can't wait till the next book is released. Highly recommend you read the whole series.
Something Different
A bit of a departure for the series which is nice. Great book I've become a Craig DiLouie fan because of this series. Can't wait for the next book.
