Tropical Storm: A WWII Naval Submarine Adventure Novel
A storm brews just over the horizon… and its fury can only be quenched with blood…
While Art Turner and the men of USS Bull Shark struggle in the Pacific against the Japanese and against their own inner demons, Captain Pat Jarvis and the men of USs Megalodon have a German tiger by the tail in the Caribbean… and it’s only a matter of time before he rips them to pieces.
The Navy, the Office of Strategic Services and the Nazis are playing the most dangerous game of all… a war within a war. As both sides move their pieces on the board in an attempt to gain an advantage, the storm clouds gather, and the tension stretches to the breaking point. Some men fight for duty, some for revenge and some for glory… while others fight to win battles yet to be conceived.
Yet as the eye of this titanic clash approaches, its Jarvis and the men of the submarine Megalodon who must weather it and make sure that they and the American Navy come out victorious!
Deadly intrigue, vicious hand to hand combat and thunderous battles rage in a tropical paradise – will Jarvis and Megalodon prevail… or will Captain Stoltz and his Nazis continue to dominate and cripple America’s trade!

WWII IS SUCH A GREAT SUBJECT!
I have never ridden in a real submarine. Only the one in San Marcos, TX which does not really count. I only know one man who was a submariner. I think he was extremely brave!!
To me, an old Texas girl who is just as at home guttin' and skinning a deer as wiping a baby's bottom, i find WWII extremely horrible and praise God and Jesus that my father was pulled out to care for his sick wife and baby (me). He missed the Battle of the Bulge. Oh, DARN!!! Which is why he lived to his 80th year. I am totally facinated by anything military and/or war related.

Third book is creative story wise but a bit predictable. The tanker - cruiser collision was a bit of a reach. Captain of the sub releasing the saboteur, considering the nature of his characteristics through the whole series is unexplainable. The German sub captain figuring out the American move and strategy every time was unrealistic.
Capture of the Honduras base was expected. The end was a given early in the book.

Another great book about WW2 submarine warefare.
This was book 10 of this series. The fact that he used the same characters in this book made it easy to follow the story line. I still believe that the author (Scott Cook) must have bee a submariner himself because of all the detail that he puts into his books about how submarines work. Incidentally, whoever the artist is that creates the cover pictures does a terrific job too.

As always - a phenomenal book by a great storyteller!
Scott Cook does it again! Jarvis and the squids, spies, ground-pounders from both sides kept me so wrapped up in this thrilling page-turner that I finished this one in a day! Helps that I'm waiting to start a new job. Keep it up, Scott - maybe a new Jarvis as well, sometime, pretty please? 😉🤪🤘☠️

hunting a U boat and light German Cruiser in the lower Caribbean.
A grand next chapter this time with Megladon still fighting Germans in the gulf of Venezuela.
Germans prepare traps and must be defeated.

great ending
The way this ends was very unexpected. And really good work! I kind of started and stopped the first few chapters and then got wrapped up in the story and loved the climax.

screams FICTION
The first word that comes to mind is corny, James Bond on German sub. Could not push through to the second chapter to many good books to read, no time for this. No more Scott Cook please.

Tall Tale Told Well
Truly a work of fiction,, but fun to read and with just enough thread of history to make it plausible.

Action in the Caribbean gets exciting, even deadly, as new enemies and allies are found. This series stays interesting and well worth continuing.

Too Corny
It was difficult to read Tropical Storm all the way through. The story was not believable and very very predictable.
