It would be best if the readers knowledge of WW 2 fleet boats was limited so the Whitefins actions would be more believable. Other than military nomenclature being misused and liberty being taken with the boats operating practices this is a very good historical fiction book.

A good read

There were parts that were frustrating. Some inexplicable mistakes by sailors who should know better to set up plot points. But in the end, very satisfying

A little frustrating but satisfying

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The constant portrayal of twin dolphin navy personnel being money grubbing scum and criminals ruined this complicated story. I've read too many first hand accounts to accept many of the characters in this book.

Would you ever listen to anything by R. Cameron Cooke again?

He's 1-1 with me so far. Not as likely after this book.

What about Tim Campbell’s performance did you like?

The voice characterizations are good. The narrator was fine.

Could you see Sink the Shigure being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Starring Donald Trump as Shelby, yes.

Any additional comments?

It's just fiction. No one got hurt. None of the characters really exists.

"Thunder Below" "The Bravest Man" and many other nonfiction books about the US submarines are so much better.

Not as Good as "Pride Runs Deep"

I picked up this bite of fact from this book: Cooke states that the US Navy underwater forces in the Pacific fought the only successful submarine campaign in either 20th century world conflicts.

The Shigure was a Japanese destroyer equipped with the latest anti-submarine weapons. It sunk the USS Seatrout. Jack Tremaine was newly assigned to command the USS Whitefin. The Seatrout was his first command so he was seeking vengeance on the Shigure.

The book is well written but I do not think it is as well written as Cooke’s prior book “Pride Runs Deep”. The second half of the book is nonstop action under the sea and on land. Cooke does a good job with battle scenes. Overall it makes a good action packed get- away- from- it- all book.

The book is about 14 hours long. Tim Campbell does a good job narrating the book.

Action packed sea adventure
