Undersea action continues in Beyond Silent Battleground.

Two years after a Soviet initiated nuclear attack on the United States, the war becomes one of attrition and must be resolved beneath the waves.

As people on both sides grow tired of the war, they express their dissatisfaction, setting the scene to remove both regimes, one by military coup, the other by political means.

United States Navy LCDR Brent Maddock, Commanding Officer USS Steelhead, becomes a leading force to foil the Soviets’ plan to bring down the American government. He must help his sworn enemy in order to gain details of their secret plans. Crucial for allied success, intelligence gathering and destroying Soviet undersea warfare assets, Maddock must take Steelhead into the North Atlantic beneath the Arctic ice pack.

Beyond Silent Battleground is the sequel to Silent Battleground, and is the 6th novel in D.M. Ulmer's Submarine Classic Series.

A highly prized intelligence find rests on the bottom of Skagerrak Strait: a Soviet Golf II class submarine equipped with three nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. All that is needed is to find this needle in the haystack, lift a thirty-five hundred ton vessel from the ocean bottom unnoticed and secure it in a surface ship designed by the CIA for this purpose.  A near impossible task, nonetheless a band of U.S. submariners agree to take it on.  

Skagerrak Review:

'I've read all of D.M. Ulmer's books and enjoyed each one. I found Skagerrak to be one of his best; exciting suspenseful and historically accurate. It captures challenges confronting the Cold War US Submarine Force, plus those of the Soviet Warfare Navy. Ulmer researches locations and cultures well; some of his insight into Scottish customs and fascinating use of language may be attributed to his personal experience. I recommend Skagerrak. It is an exciting read with keen insight into submariner life and the many personal stories covered.'

BISAC: Fiction / War & Military

Ensure Plausible Deniability is a tale of the mid-sixties Soviet Navy flexing its muscles throughout the world’s oceans by provoking head-to-head confrontations with U.S. units. Ensuing games of chicken on the surface and beneath the seas between vessels armed with nuclear weapons portended disaster.  
 
It would take only one hotheaded skipper on either side to go off half-cocked and plunge mankind into World War III.  
 
The saga is set in the backdrop of U.S. diesel-electric submarines’ demise to make room for the higher performance nuclear powered submarines. However, the questionable nuclear power program selection criteria disregarded submariner performance excellence and accepted officer applicants solely on academic prowess. This practice may well have portended disaster of its own. 
 
Ensure Plausible Deniability is spiced with first-hand insights into submariner personal and distaff life.

The Cold War Beneath  tells the story of an event at sea off the New England coast during the post World War II years.  Two submarines play a dangerous underwater game of hide and seek in this action thriller as U.S. Navy forces try to find out the Russians' true intentions for being in American waters. 

The story addresses day-to-day life onboard a submarine during conduct of a hazardous mission, its effects upon the crew, and upon family and friends ashore.
 

A Soviet spy becomes involved in the personal lives of the submariners' friends and family then uses them to his advantage to gather intelligence about American submarine operations.  An old adversary returns to the scene of his crime to aid the Americans in finding the Russian agent. 
  

'I very much enjoyed The Cold War Beneath.  Ulmer's two published novels and the one in the works appear extremely interesting, and will add much to the little known history of diesel submarine operations for most of the Cold War.  I found The Cold War Beneath to be a most worthy book.'

World War I, a four year devastating conflict began in 1914 and engulfed all of Europe.

 

Where or When tells of its effects on the men who fought it, and of remaining issues that was unresolved for generations.  

 

Blaire Coolidge lives in the Pacific-Northwest city of Bellevue, Washington.  In the spring of 2009, she learns her great-grandmother Alice, had once married 1st Lieutenant David Reynolds of the embryo U.S Army Flying Corps. Her family objected to the marriage on the eve of David's departure for Europe and the war, but deeply in love, they went ahead.  David is lost in combat over the bloody trenches of France just a few months before the war ended in November, 1918. He reportedly went down in an area pulverized by artillery, hence his body was not recovered.  Post war attempts by Alice to find him netted nothing, so she returned home and eventually remarried.  With help from a German man, Klaus Meyer, Blaire comes upon an amazing revelation on the fate of David Reynolds.  

 

The tale meanders among Pacific Northwest settings, back and forth between the years 1918 and 2009 and other locations in the United States and Germany.

"A grand romance in the classic sense.  A love between a Naval Academy midshipman and an Iowa farm girl, a Korean War-era tragedy, and the search by a grandson for the mystery surrounding his grandparents love story.


"There is a modern mindset that says romances are for women.  Any man who has ever been in love will identify with Bren Judge, enjoy the story, and even possibly shed a few tears."

Captain, US Navy (Ret.)

Shared Glory captures the high drama of combat operations, the complexity of war machines and indelible changes to the lives of the men who fought World War II. Young women were left to sort out developing relationships as virtually all the males were either in service or on their way to donning a uniform.  
 
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by the Japanese, U.S. Navy submariners wasted no time in striking back at Japan. This immediate retaliation both escalated sagging morale at home and punctured the Japanese bubble of perceived invincibility. 
 
United States Navy Lieutenant Linton Adams, and U.S. Army Air Corps Sergeant Jerry Wagner, have an issue to be ultimately resolved in the World War II torn southwest Pacific Ocean. In the interim, both travel harrowing paths, Adams through submarine warfare against Japanese war and merchant ships and Wagner in the bloody skies over Europe and Japan. 
 
Author D.M. Ulmer makes use of a rich and varied background to bring his superb novels to life.  “Using true incidents,” Ulmer says, “spices the tale and brings a certain credibility not found in contrived scenarios. Though I must remember to change names and protect the guilty.” 
 
The book, fraught with World War II action scenes, required considerable research into submarine warfare in the southwest Pacific and aerial combat against Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan.
