What boring garbage. Doesnt anybody write books about navy vs navy anymore? Why does it always have to be a rogue sub, or some secret agent garbage. 
I did some internet serches, but anythng modern...other than Clancy.....seems to follow the above formula too much. |
You might like, then, Larry Bond's "Dangerous Ground". Believable plot, some good action. The sequel, "Cold Choices", however, left me cold (pun intended).
You might also try "Typhoon" by Robin White.
A real gem with the same title ("Typhoon") is the novel by Mark Joseph. It's long out of print, so look for it in the used book section of Amazon. Joseph's other sub novel, "To Kill the Potemkin", is also good.
Finally, "Silent Service - Los Angeles Class," by H. Jay Riker, I thought enough of to create a set of Sub Command/Dangerous Waters scenarios based on it.
