A tense World War Two submarine thriller! Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, H. Jay Riker, Patrick Robinson and Michael DiMercurio.
As the war rages on, is defeat lurking beneath the ocean waves?
England and France, 1941
With the world in the grip of another deadly war, the battle for the North Atlantic is at a crucial stage. The Nazis’ ‘wolf pack’ strategy, spearheaded by Admiral Karl Dönitz , is gaining traction, and German U-boats are threatening to overcome the convoys that hold the key to Britain’s survival.
As one Allied ship after another is sunk by the wolf pack, a tense cat-and-mouse game develops. Cynical Commander William Mulford is charged with stopping the U-boats in their tracks … but with his chaotic private life distracting him from the task in hand, is he really the best man for the job?
Meanwhile, with Allied attempts to crack the Nazi communications code proving fruitless, the search is on for a German cipher machine … but can one be found in time to halt the Nazis’ trail of destruction?
Can Mulford be relied upon to defend his country in its hour of need? And can the Allies learn the secrets of the wolf pack strategy in time to break its deadly hold?
Or is a catastrophic defeat waiting in the wings?
Told from both American and German perspectives and inspired by real-life events, TRACKING THE WOLF PACK is a gripping naval submarine action novel set during the Second World War.

I bailed on this book in chapter 1. Helm order to steer "420 degrees"? There are only 360 degrees on a compass. U-Boat's CO is a lieutenant, um, ok not likely but possible. Helmsman and 2nd engineer both also lieutenants but XO is a jg? Inappropriate duty assignment and command structure. Speaking of that, on a British destroyer in the book, the XO is referred to as "First Mate"; nope, correct RN terminology is First Lieutenant, commonly called "Number One" and in lower deck slang Jimmy or Jimmy The One. In a combat scene on a clear, dark night, a torpedo is fired at a tanker 1,200 yards away and the target is described as being on the horizon. Sorry, I'm abandoning ship here as 1,200 yards is nowhere near a horizon. They say "write about what you know". Well, that's not the case here and the result is a book that, at the least, is full of irritating errors that make it impossible to read further for anyone who is familiar with naval reality. Glad I only wasted 99 cents on this.

Tracking the Wolfpack
Tracking the Wolfpack was an exciting book well written in description of World War II tactics in the Atlantic ocean. The British Navy was in desperate need of some thing that would help the fight against the German Navy. For the first two years of war Germany had ruled the ocean. This book describes the changes the British made to rule the Atlantic Ocean.

Interesting exciting read
I really enjoyed this book. As I said it was interesting and exciting but for me the best part was it showed both sides of the war in the Atlantic. How the Germans had triumphed at the beginning and the British had to develop technology and tactics to compete.

Short & Interesting
Being ex Navy I enjoyed this novel.
A story set in the Battle of the Atlantic about the Royal Navy and the German U Boat fleet, written by an American it gets some of the terminology and ranks wrong which I'm certain will ignore some but not me.
On the plus side he does give the RN the credit for capturing the first Enigma machine.

Very badly researched. US Navy terms grafted onto Royal Navy and Kreigsmarine. Battle stations not action stations. No idea about conditions in GB during the war- flying from Liverpool to London for leave!! (not furlough). Naval officer with moustache! No idea about rationing. Tale gets 1 star but so many very irritating errors makes a poor read.

Needs some serious revising.
Didn't get past the first chapter.
Authors have a German submarine commander ordering helm to steer 420 and 410 degrees. Magic! How did Germany make circles more than 360 degrees?
They don't have a clue. Not worth further reading.

OK
Part Peyton Place and part war story, it does neither very well. Many technical errors as well. Hydroplanes do not listen for noise, hydrphones do.

Excellent wartime yarn
I enjoyed this well written book. Plenty of detail and human interest. It had me riveted. I’ll look for more from this author.

super book
This is a well written book. It keeps you guessing as how it will end. It could have happen the way it was told

Felt Real
This book had me living in the confines of a German U-Boat, aboard a British Destroyer, and dancing in a brothel (oops, ignore the last one).
