Lieutenant (junior grade) Ben Snow takes a commission in the United States Naval Reserve, and whips a dissolute crew into fighting shape. They then take their little submarine chaser, SC 65X, out into the English Channel to hunt for German U-boats in the midst of the worst winter in more than fifty years. Their achievements climax with the sinking of a German submarine and taking sixteen of her crew prisoner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the war ends on 11 November 1918, the chaser crews expect to return home, but their exposure to danger is by no means concluded.

Having survived the war, will Ben and his crew survive the peace?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phillip Parotti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1636242448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636242446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Casemate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Phillip Parotti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073060303103,"sku":"9781636242446","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f649c2a4-4f1e-497d-8630-23330e38d162.jpg?v=1685445573","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/riders-upon-the-storm-phillip-parotti-9781636242446","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
