This book contains never-before information about some of the subsims that shaped the genre: Fast Attack and Silent Hunter II, from the men who made them.

There is an article on submarine warfare policy by Capt. Zeb Alford, skipper of the USS Shark and USS Sam Houston.

There are four very well-written works of original fiction from our own Subsim members:
