SSN Seadragon The Crucible Of Leviathan - I find the book a little much - it gives you a ton of Military jargon - for instance the say "CRD was in a briefing at RDM and was the COMSUB and Cpt. Driscoll his COMBUS RDN/
COMSUB Div." - I guess it is suppose to give you the information that the Military uses - making it authentic - but I found it on most pages - at least in the beginning - for me it took away from the story instead of helpful - but you decide for yourself. If you like all that stuff you will love the book. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed is all my own.

This is a Navy inspired book that I found very technical. Fortunately, my husband is retired Navy and was on submarines. I was able to ask questions about things I didn't understand.I enjoyed reading about the fictional happenings with submarines during the Korean and Vietnam War and WW 2. The characters were all very strong but Danny O’Kean, a young man on special duty was my favorite. He was a very well trained in the military aspects mentioned in this book. I found that there was a spotlight on religious beliefs in the service of these men. It is spoken of frequently but was not preachy. I think anyone interested in the military would love this book. Lots of action and excitement.. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review and no compensation otherwise.

You will enjoy this Naval - inspired novel if you have served on a submarine or you have relatives who were in the Navy.
The author shares fictional incidents involving American and Russian submarines from WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. You will learn about spying missions that affected the outcomes of some of the battles in these wars, and you will feel like you know the characters in the book, especially David Heidelman, a submarine commander, and Danny O’Kean, a young American spy who is adept at scuba diving, concealment, and living when he should have died.
The language in this book is coarse and descriptive, I imagine it is how people in these environments communicate.
