This is the second of two books that I have read by James Calvert. Surface at the Pole is an exciting story as any novel I have ever read. His narrative and analogies are informative, very interesting and really give you a feel for the ordeals our brave Submariners endure. James Calvert, and the crews that served with, and under him, are real heros in my book. If you enjoy "Surface at the Pole," you would do well to read his "Silent Running," about his experiences on a conventional submarine during WWII.
