But her four-man crew knows that the outcome of the war could depend on this midget submarine. Seaton, her commander, understands what his men face.

Surface with Daring book. Simply because it is deserved! As a Douglas Reeman fan, I found this book to be as good as any he has written, possibly even better than some. Oct 19, 2013 Ari rated it liked it. A "normal" Douglas Reeman WWII novel. Easy to read and interesting enough to finish. Not for most women I'd suppose

Odds are long for the British destroyers assigned to escort vital northern convoys through the bitter Arctic Sea in the bloodiest days of WWII. Commander Graham Martineau, still haunted by the loss of his ship and crew to Nazi destroyers, must take on a new command: the Tribal Class destroyer Hakka. A novel from the bestselling master storyteller of the sea, Douglas Reeman; he has also written over twenty bestselling novels featuring Richard Bolitho, under the pseudonym Alexander Kent.

Lieutenant David Seaton leads his flotilla of four-man-crew, midget submarines into the chill waters of Norway on a mission to destroy a secret and devastating weapon recently developed by the Nazis.

I had the audiobook version and it was well done. I thought the story proceeded quite well also. There were only a few places where I apparently missed a salient detail mentioned later in the book for which I did not make the connection, but given the amount of details, this is not unexpected. This is the story of Fluckey, the skipper of the USS Barb submarine on his unprecedented 5 patrols in the Pacific. Fluckey was an atypical commander and took atypical risks and enjoyed atypically good rewards as a result. Only a crazy man would want to install rocket launchers on a submarine, right? The story is rather autobiographical and so Fluckey virtually always sounds like he is doing the right things, but verification of his war record online indicates that while he may not admit to too many faults, the accomplishments are no doubt very real and the man served with distinction as did his crew. While much of the book is presented in what should be a boring timeline fashion, the information and inflection is anything but boring, the time references just there to keep the reader in the moment and to show how time is progressing in the book. I really enjoyed this book as a story and as a historical reference. It got me interested enough to look up several related events online out of interest of better understanding the context of other concurrent events going on in the Pacific at the time. In other words, I got this book to be entertained and ended up learning quite a bit along the way and enjoyed what I was learning and was spurred on to learn more. If you like historical battle-type stories, this is a great book. If you like nuts and bolts, first person war stories, this is a great book. If you don't care about the history and just enjoy a story about an exciting adventure at sea, this is a great book. It is a story as much about Fluckey's command as it is about the Barb as the two are intertwined into making both to be the top performers of their day.

I have read 16 WW II naval fiction books by this author, but this book did not fall into the trap of same old circumstances but with different characters. It was thoroughly enjoyable.
