Submarine (The Cold War Naval Thriller Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

by John Wingate (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 1,841 ratings
The shattering climax of the Cold War naval thriller series! Perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, Douglas Reeman and Duncan Harding.

The stage is set for the final conflict… but will humanity live to tell the tale?

Posted to Washington as the Royal Navy’s representative, Captain Pascoe Trevellion debates strategy with the US president as threats of an all-out nuclear war escalate.

The outdated and under-powered submarine Orcus is despatched on a suicide mission into Soviet waters.

The Orcus is expendable – a pawn to draw the Soviet underwater battleship Typhoon out of its lair and into the path of British hunter-killer submarine Safari.

Deep below the polar ice, Orcus hunts a ship eight times its size.

And if they meet, it can only end in a fight to the death…

Can the crew of Orcus prevail against the odds? Will the threat of a nuclear war finally be eradicated?

Or is the final curtain about to fall?

SUBMARINE is the third book in the Cold War Naval Thriller Series, gripping military action novels written in the 1980s as futuristic fiction. They can now be read as alternative history.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great end to the trilogy

    Although a bit disjointed at times, all three books in this series have been enormously fun to read. The author brought to this reader a different experience in a fascinating genre and nicely tied together what the personal and professional experience would have been, on both the small and global scales, if the Cold War had gone hot in the ‘80s. The novel, for me, take on Soviet naval strategy was especially enjoyable. Highly recommend all three books.

    Enjoyed the Cold War suspense. No reason given for the war being fought, the personal stories were thrown in. Implausible to say the least.

    The tedious British Naval acronyms made the story line somewhat difficult for an American English reader to follow thus diminishing the overall enjoyment of the story.

    There was a glossary at the end of this book, so I could almost understand the intricacies of the tale. For that it rates much better.
    Would have been nice if some of the main characters had survived.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The ravages of naval warfare
    Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Although unfolding slowly, this final installment about a conflict in the seas between NATO and Soviet Union navies takes us under the waves in a heroic and costly mission to discourage a nuclear threat. Nothing is without costs and heroes often fall. Tense and rewarding reading of a Total Navy role, with recurring appearances of characters. Best read in the series.

    Wow, the 3rd book in the series is possibly the best one. It's about the exploits of 2 Royal Navy Submerines trying to bring the war to an end. It is one of those books that you cannot put down, you want to know what is going to happen. The author really know his Navy and how it works which makes these storys even better.
    You almost don't want the series to finish. Highley recommended.
