Great story indeed.
This is an unusual story with a refreshing insider look at the world of submariners smuggling drugs between Mexico and the US in the mid 80's.
The fabric of the relationship between the father and the son is well textured.
The technical details of the midget submarine and its operation appear real.
The amount of of ASW systems deployed in action are plentiful, from a trained dolphin used by SEALs, SDV, Kaman SH2 Seasprite, USS Dolphin, USCG Cutters Hamilton Class, and USCG Island Class patrol boats.
Plenty of submarine pursuit in the San Diego area canyons and sea valleys, plenty of suspense and couple of unexpected twist.
I greatly enjoyed that time spent, I recommend that read.
