Napoleon’s Pyramids

“[A] superb historical thriller. . . . Riveting battle scenes, scantily clad women, mathematical puzzles, mysteries of the pharaohs, reckless heroism, hairsbreadth escapes and undaunted courage add up to unbeatable adventure rivaling the exploits of George Macdonald Fraser’s Harry Flashman. Readers will cheer.” —

Booklist

Submariners who make history rarely come home.

Commander Alex Coleman was watching paint dry when World War III started. Everyone expected China to be the Big Bad, but while China was busy with their own civil war, India, France, and Russia started gobbling up prime territory on the ocean floor. Stealth being the best gig in warfare, submarines are at the forefront of this unexpected conflict. Enter USS Jimmy Carter: America’s oldest attack submarine.

Being contrary, unorthodox, and good at pissing admirals off got Alex sentenced to a sub meant for the breakers. His crew is assembled of rejects and misfits no one else wants, from the cowardly XO to the drunk sonar tech. The Navy prefers them all on the sidelines, and no one expects them to matter. But sometimes even the U.S. Navy forgets that the enemy gets a vote.

So, when his boat sets sail to escort Convoy 57 though an unimportant patch of the Indian Ocean, Alex anticipates another dull milk run. Not a battle no one can win. Missiles start raining down, and when their boring escort becomes an all-out firestorm, Alex and USS Jimmy Carter are all that stand between thousands of civilian refugees and an enemy armada. One ancient submarine against dozens of enemies makes for terrible odds...and even victory might end in death for Alex’s crew of rejects.

It’s the first real battle of Alex’s career. Does he have what it takes to save his crew from this fiery inferno?

Or will Alex Coleman and Jimmy Carter join the long list of the fallen?
