This is part of 2 different stories that ends in a cliff hanger, lame! Just write a whole story! It’s not worth buying on its own.

I have read all the previous books in the series. I have always been fascinated with the Second World War. Most men in my town (POP<14,000) were involved in this war. My uncle was in submarines. While on leave, my uncle's sub disappeared with all hands. So, growing up, I heard many stories about the world war. Reading this series gives me a feel for what my uncle went through.
Scott Cook is an excellent writer who gives the reader a sense of the fear and tension submariners experience. I couldn't do it. I would have a mental breakdown locked in a steel tube deep in the sea while depth charges explode. To me, this is a real page-turner. I have to pace myself, or I will be reading deep into the night.
If you're curious about the submarine service and like a good tale about World War Two, you'll really enjoy this series. It's well-written and features well-developed characters that you get to know throughout each book.

As always Scott Cook writes a "hellva" spell-binding book.
Not quite as exciting as some of the books in this series, but still a good read.
In this series, it is the World War II story of the SUBMARINE fleet of the U.S.A.
Introduced in the first book the people carry through the entire series. You almost become friends with some of the men and women, but again, there are a few that you want to slap along side the head to get their attention. But all are fighting for each others countries.
Several spots were "tear jerkers" but you really need to start at the first book of the series to get a good understanding of the problems encountered by Art Turner, Captain, USS BullShark.
There are several typos that are small but annoying.
One thing I wish the Author would do is to add a section at the beginning or end with what all the abbreviations are. I ran out of sticky notes writing down the abbreviations.

Scott Does It Again!
I'm never disappointed with any Scott Cook yarn. Started with the Scott Jarvis series and moved into Bull Shark. Scott know how sailors talk, the area where the action takes place, and the emotional toll these men endure. It was great catching up with Art, Jarvis, and their crews; felt elated when plans worked and devastated when war becomes it's deadly self. I have read all Scott Cook's series except the Dracula series...think I'll give it a shot! Thanks, again, Scott.

WOW…I just finished Scott W. Cooks “Bull Shark” series. What a great series of adventures. Book number 8 was the final one I read and it was excellent just as all the others were, yet it’s a cliffhanger!
Now I can’t wait for the next book. I certainly hope he gets it out very soon..! Fantastic Series, and you should read the “Bull Shark” series as soon as you can. Each book is exceptional….!

Blow the man down.
While a good read. It was a little far fetched on the clandestine side. However looking for the next book in this series. My brother served in Wii and while not on sub the lingo is close.

March 30, 20242 stories in one with a familiar crew and some new characters at war in different oceans vs different enemies and antagonists. An enjoyable fiction tied to historical events and milestones. Left me hangin’ - can’t wait for book 9!

Very good
Author however showed his young age however in stating that they pulled the tab on their beer. Tabs did not appear on beer cans in the 1940’s. Church keys were used to open beer cans. I know, pickie, pickie, but have read the series and looking to the next book.

Great read, just have to wait for the sequil
Very good read, full of action. A good mix of both action and and personal feelings on both sides. Moving from Pacific to atlantic makes you pay attention and gives you a broader picture
on different outlooks of the war.

Rousing good yarn.
Where the story line is some what unlikely it is very effective. As a history nut the the back ground is quite accurate but as it is fiction you should just sit back an enjoy.

Another great read
The storyline has expanded to the Caribbean with Captain Jarvis. I have never read much WW2 naval history in this area. I need to research.

Great read
Plenty of action and suspense. Personal tragedy an human emotion made for a attention getter and kept the story moving.🤔

Submarine novel
I enjoyed this submarine tale, but could not imagine serving during war time on one. It was a good read however.

Book 8
The story was good but a little hard to follow with the two books worth of characters. This series would be good for fans of navy stories from wwII.

Rather formulaic with an abrupt ending
