The Black Sea Horde
Summary
The Russian Bear is still up to his old tricks of intimidation and oppression. The victim? The newly independent country of the Ukraine, which lies on the Black Sea, long considered by the Russians as their lake. We’re on the brink of war, and the Pentagon needs covert local intelligence. It’s a job for the nuclear hunter-killer submarine USS New York City. Russia’s Black Sea Fleet is intent on flooding into the Mediterranean to face the United States Sixth Fleet. USS NYC is the tripwire and first line of defense. For her weapons officer, Lieutenant Commander Nathan Blake, this is the patrol from hell. Ukraine’s secret weapon is young spy Yana Borisova. Nathan finds himself drawn into her fight, ashore in a foreign land and under the sea. But Yana has another agenda. Standing alone against the Black Sea Fleet is one submarine, one man, and his vow: "They shall not pass". Stand with Nathan onboard the USS New York City as he faces the Black Sea Horde.

The Spratly Incident
Summary
One sea. Two superpowers. Disputed islands. Only one submarine will prevail. Who owns the Spratly Islands is in dispute; the islands and reefs in the South China Sea sit atop vast oil and gas wealth. The People’s Republic of China is taking possession of what they consider their territory, building vast sea fortresses and airbases in the area. Invasion, plundering of territory, expulsion of people, piracy, and armed clashes on the high seas. But this isn’t the age of the pirates; it’s the present day, and the smaller Asian nations are powerless to stop this piracy. Only one nation on Earth can face down the People’s Republic: the USA. It’s time to stand tall; America needs to take a stand. Commander Nathan Blake controls the most powerful and silent diesel-electric submarine to ever patrol the deeps: the USS Stonewall Jackson. Together with his crew, Nathan will sail into deadly peril, into the dragon’s lair itself. He’ll need every man and woman aboard to excel when they face the most cunning, formidable foe that they’ve ever encountered. Stealth, guile and brute force will be called for. Can the United States prevail against the might of the People’s Liberation Army Navy? Follow Nathan and his crew as they take their stand.
