Submarine Attack #51

In 1940, Lt. Luke Loughran is taken prisoner aboard Kapitan von Schuss's German U-boat after his Portuguese fishing vessel is sunk, forced to watch the ruthless Nazi commander's brutal tactics firsthand. When Loughran defies von Schuss and is cast into the Atlantic, a British patrol plane intervenes—and now the American naval officer has crucial intelligence about one of Hitler's most dangerous submarine captains. Rescued and debriefed, Loughran prepares to share everything he's learned about von Schuss's methods with his own Navy.

Captain Nicholas Moore commands the nuclear-powered USS Longfin on a patrol beneath the Arctic ice cap, hunting for Communist infiltration in North American waters. When he corners a Soviet submarine in perilous ice-choked depths, Moore forces a tense standoff—then discovers a Red military base hidden within Canadian territorial waters and launches a desperate raid to neutralize the threat before enemy reinforcements arrive.

When a bomb blast knocks Commander Nick Gorgan overboard during a Japanese attack, his submarine SS 322 is forced to dive without him—leaving the skipper stranded in hostile waters with nothing but his wits. Washed ashore on a heavily fortified Japanese island, Gorgan teams up with an Australian coastwatcher and hatches a desperate plan to sabotage enemy installations while his executive officer, Lt. Talbot, wrestles with the decision of whether to risk his boat and crew on a rescue mission. "The Missing Skipper" is a taut Pacific War tale of duty, command, and the razor's edge between survival and sacrifice.
