Quotes by G. Neil Midkiff  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I thought of this story many years ago as a young LT(JG) on USS Jack (SSN-605). I had read everything I could about the WW II submarines and the war in the Pacific. Jack was named for its WW II predecessor (SS-259) and we had her battle flags and sinkings record on the bulkhead in the crew’s mess. I spent a lot of time thinking what was it like to serve in that time, in that war. When I decided to write my first novel, this was always going to be that story.”
