Submarine Attack #14

Two crippled warships—a German U-boat and an American destroyer—find themselves trapped in the eye of a hurricane during 1958, each racing to make emergency repairs before the other strikes the killing blow. Lieutenant Ade and Kapitan Stuhrter circle warily in the unnatural calm, their crews working frantically against both enemy guns and the storm's return, as nature itself becomes a third combatant in their desperate duel.

Lieutenant Earl Buttrick leads a four-man frogman team on a desperate raid into occupied France to rescue the Resistance operative Jacques Vernier and destroy a captured British submarine docked upriver—a vessel the Germans are trying to unlock the secrets of. With Vernier's knowledge of German signals and the river's treacherous approaches, Buttrick improvises a bold plan: use the sub itself as a weapon, loaded with explosives and aimed straight at the enemy submarine base. As German guns rake the vessel and alarms shriek across the installation, the team races against time to escape with their prize and their lives.

Commander W.M. Roberts must keep an atomic submarine running on schedule and primed for a desperate game of nuclear brinkmanship, while across the world, a skilled diplomat known only as "the Fireman" rushes toward a tense face-to-face confrontation that will determine whether cooler heads or military force will carry the day. With less than three hours on the clock and a missile crew standing ready to launch, the stakes couldn't be higher for both sides of an international standoff.

When Lt. Comdr. Russ Tinley and the submarine Eel hide in a Philippine deep-water cove to escape a pursuing Japanese destroyer, they've bought themselves a few hours of peace—but no escape route. When the entire Japanese fleet sails in two hours later and spots them, Tinley must improvise a desperate gamble: using a hastily rigged Japanese insignia and a few carefully chosen words, he attempts to bluff his way past enemy ships to reach open water. It's a tense game of deception in the early days of the Pacific War, with the odds stacked against a crew with nowhere left to run.

When the American hunter-killer submarine K7 pulls into a neutral South European port, Lt. Commander Spence's crew discovers they're not alone—a Russian frogman is attempting to photograph the sub's top secret features from underwater. Ensign Boland must suit up and stop the enemy diver before classified technology falls into hostile hands, all while keeping the peace in waters where an overt conflict could spark an international incident. This tense Cold War standoff plays out silently beneath the surface, where quick thinking and nerve mean the difference between security and catastrophe.
