I’d like to thank the following people, without which this book would not have been possible. My heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your tireless contributions. J. Russell Martin, a 20-year veteran of the submarine services of the US Navy. Your attention to detail in evaluating the submarine scenes was invaluable. Eliza Racine, thank you for your work with the nuances of language translations. To my editor, Keith Morrill, thank you for taking such a detailed look at the manuscript and polishing it into something of much greater value. And to the many of you who acted as beta readers. The list is too long, but you know who you are. Thank you for pointing out what I was too close to see.
