(This historic novel takes National Archive patrol reports...)
This historic novel takes National Archive patrol reports and logbooks as the heart of the story. It fictionalizes the characters and the actions. An aviator on a Japanese bombing attack is hit by coastal anti-aircraft fire, and ditches into a stormy sea. The U.S.S. Snook (SS-279), spends ten hours looking for the aviator, in vain. Arriving back in Pearl Harbor, Lt. Commander Charles Emerson, captain of the U.S.S. Snook, arranges for meetings with ComSubPac to work out a solution to the issue of downed aviators. He then falls in love with a beautiful nurse he meets on Waikiki Beach. Escapades at sea involve being part of the first United States Wolf Pack and successfully testing a new direct communications system. Escapades on the beach get interesting. The Snook is credited with saving the lives of nineteen aviators, as well as destroying its share of enemy shipping.

(The Gold Run depicts the courageous efforts of one United...)
The Gold Run depicts the courageous efforts of one United States submarine during World War II. The U.S.S. Trout was dispatched out of Pearl Harbor, just two months after the war began, to bring the Philippine treasures out of Corregidor back to the United States for safekeeping when the allies knew that the Japanese were going to invade the Philippine Islands. The conflict contained in this story is the mission to recover the Philippine treasures and transport them back without general knowledge of the crew. The counterpoint in this novel is developed around a news reporter who is trying to make a name for himself, and the counter espionage forces that abort his efforts. This historic novel takes evidence of patrol reports and log books filed by the U.S.S. Trout and obtained from the National Archives, and embellishes the characters and the actions in a fictional format.
