Last Patrol of the Romeo: Book 1: A Cold War Submarine Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798188633837)

A torpedo is in the water, and the fifty men about to die do not officially exist.

Ten days earlier, a North Korean Romeo-class submarine slips out of Wonsan on a night tide. She is thirty years obsolete, running on a battery that no longer holds a full charge, and she carries sealed orders and a passenger: a defector with thirty years of secrets and a bottle of vodka rationed by the day, like the amps.

Captain Ryu is ordered north. He turns south instead, through the Tsushima Strait, because it is the last route anyone will expect. It works, and it ruins him. Within four days Pyongyang has disavowed the boat, Moscow has agreed to sink it as a favor, and the crew's families have become collateral.

When the crew finally votes to surface and surrender to the Americans, someone else fires first - and every sonar log in the Pacific records the wrong shooter.

In Yokosuka, a lieutenant nobody outranks reads the tapes and knows exactly what they are lying about. Her memo comes back marked insufficient, inflammatory, drop it.

Book 1 of four.
