In the clandestine US Navy submarine operations of the post-Cold War era, more than a few secrets were meant to remain submerged forever. Some, however, refuse to idle in murky depths. One man will stop at nothing to release the truth into the light of day, in the name of his family and his country.
The Undersea Shell Game is the enthralling debut novel by Captain John L. Shea of the US Navy that mines the underbelly of covert maneuvers to deliver a razor sharp, authentic account of submarine life. When submarine officer Jay Brown confronts the suicide of his admiral father, his world is suddenly turned upside down. And, when the deed is somehow entwined with a Russian syndicate smuggling nuclear material to Iraq, Brown is forced to take his training to the limit.
With intricate detail from a seasoned Naval officer, The Undersea Shell Game offers a rare peek through the periscope of military life when the currents of the Cold War still rocked the world. Anyone who savors plenty of intrigue and an adrenaline surge will find a riveting read that goes deep, yet manages to do so with humor and even some romance.
