"Holt is the type of hero rarely seen in books written in the past 50 years ... If you like the works of P.T. Deutermann, C.S. Forester, or Patrick O’Brian, 'Sink the Rising Sun' will appeal to you." — Mark Lardas, Bright Magazine
In the dark days after Pearl Harbor, a small, untested arm of the United States Navy was all that stood between the shattered American fleet and the ascendent Japanese Empire. Far off in Western Australia, U.S. submarine officer Benjamin Holt finds himself on the frontlines of World War II with nothing but a decades-old sub and a rusty crew.
The green 25-year-old is ordered to stop Imperial Japan’s bloody expansion across the Pacific any way he can. Between each nerve-wracking war patrol, he’s further challenged by Navy politics, faulty equipment, and his lost love back home, all while adjusting to his strange new life Down Under.
Deeply researched and expertly told, Sink the Rising Sun combines edge-of-your-seat action, unforgettable characters, and wry humor to reveal a young officer — and his young nation — choosing to lead and accepting nothing but total victory.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In the dark days after Pearl Harbor, a small, untested arm of the United States Navy was all that stood between the shattered American fleet and the ascendent Japanese Empire. Far off in Western Australia, U.S. submarine officer Benjamin Holt finds himself on the frontlines of World War II with nothing but a decades-old sub and a rusty crew.The green 25-year-old is ordered to stop Imperial Japan's bloody expansion across the Pacific any way he can. Between each nerve-wracking war patrol, he's further challenged by Navy politics, faulty equipment, and his lost love back home, all while adjusting to his strange new life Down Under. The Submarine Force made up less than 2 percent of the U.S. Navy but sank nearly 60 percent of all Japanese shipping. Their spirit, courage, and tenacity came at a price. One in five submariners gave their lives, the highest casualty rate of all American forces in the Second World War. Fifty-two boats and 3,506 men remain on eternal patrol.Deeply researched and expertly told by a submarine veteran, Sink the Rising Sun combines edge-of-your-seat action, unforgettable characters, and wry humor to reveal a young officer - and his young nation - choosing to lead and accepting nothing but total victory.
