Crash Dive: The Complete Series chronicles the adventures of Charlie Harrison as he fights the Imperial Japanese Navy during WW2. Gripping, action-packed, authentic, and filled with larger-than-life men and women of the Greatest Generation, Crash Dive puts you aboard a submarine during the war.
You'll stand alongside Charlie as he proves himself time and again by keeping his wits and being decisive in crisis, though each encounter leaves him more heavily scarred for it. You'll attack a convoy in a daring night surface attack, emerge in a sea fog to ambush a battle group, and charge the battleship Yamato during the decisive Battle of Leyte Gulf. All the while, you'll live with the crew in the cramped, noisy, and challenging machine that was a diesel-electric submarine.
Crash Dive: The Complete Series puts together for the first time all six episodes in Craig DiLouie's highly acclaimed historical military fiction series: Crash Dive, Silent Running, Battle Stations, Contact!, Hara-Kiri, and Over the Hill.

Darting back and forth across the icy North Atlantic, Compass Rose played a deadly cat-and-mouse game with packs of German U-boats lying in wait beneath the ocean waves. Packed with tension and vivid descriptions of agonizing U-boat hunts, this tale of the most bitter and chilling campaign of the war tells of ordinary men who had to master their own fears before they could face a brutal menace - one that would strike without warning from the deep.

Possibly the best…ever.
This might well be the best WW2 Pacific Theatre historical fiction ever. It is certainly the best that I have read/heard to date. I have not looked forward to my audio book driving sessions this much in a long time. Extremely well written.

The only reason I found this book is because RC Bray narrated it. I'm a huge fan of his work, and once again he did a fantastic job with the Crash Dive series.
It was my first time listening to anything by Criag DiLouie, but I thoroughly enjoyed his work.

Ok ok...I know, it’s not perfect. If you want technical perfection, 100% realistic strategy etc etc this isn’t it.
Some of the situations are pretty far fetched, but this is escapism.
What this is, is an exiting, entertaining, fictitious story based during real events. I crushed the near 30hrs of the 6 mini-books which reads pretty much like 1 long book, in just a few days.
If you want to be entertained, and love WW2 Pacific theatre, get this collection.

Phenomenal Story and Narration
This really captures adventure and loss in WWII’s Pacific theater and the submariners who served. I started and simply couldn’t stop. It’s over and I wish there was more of Charlie Harrison. RC Bray’s narration is really on point which made it even better.
