"Cold is the Sea" jumps to the Cold War era and follows Richardson after his promotion to a nuclear submarine squadron commander and deals with a Soviet submarine incursion to the Arctic.

Just curious-What do you think of Beach's accuracy?
I always felt they were extremely detailed and accurate, as well they should be considering his service. His narrative of approaches and attacks, especially in "Dust on the Sea", seem extremely detailed and very realistic. I've learned a ton just from those books as opposed to the 30 second approaches depicted in movies or the glossed over attacks in some books.
I'll definitely second your recommendation on the trilogy
. I've read all three countless times. In fact, I had to replace my copy of "Dust on the Sea" last year-it was falling apart. "Run Silent, Run Deep" isn't to far from falling apart as well.
