Summary

Now you can download the entire Crash Dive Series - here!

Crash Dive: The Complete Series chronicles the adventures of Charlie Harrison as he fights the Imperial Japanese Navy during WW2. Gripping, action-packed, authentic, and filled with larger-than-life men and women of the Greatest Generation, Crash Dive puts you aboard a submarine during the war.

You'll stand alongside Charlie as he proves himself time and again by keeping his wits and being decisive in crisis, though each encounter leaves him more heavily scarred for it. You'll attack a convoy in a daring night surface attack, emerge in a sea fog to ambush a battle group, and charge the battleship Yamato during the decisive Battle of Leyte Gulf. All the while, you'll live with the crew in the cramped, noisy, and challenging machine that was a diesel-electric submarine.

Crash Dive: The Complete Series puts together for the first time all six episodes in Craig DiLouie's highly acclaimed historical military fiction series: Crash Dive, Silent Running, Battle Stations, Contact!, Hara-Kiri, and Over the Hill.

Staggering

Book 1 thru 5 excellent. Book 6, so powerful and emotive.

If you had a moment with Das Boot, go for it.

Some moments of eh as details skip or change. I’ve even learnt about some new places on the planet.

Rc Bray brilliant as ever.

Edge of my seat

This is the best naval war book I have ever encountered. The narration is fantastic making this an absolute rollercoaster that had me glued to my phone.

Do yourself a favour, and listen to this collection.

I was sorry to finish it...

Superb story and narration, especially near the end of the war and eventual surrender of the Japanese.
The postscript of the protagonists' lives after the war was the icing on the cake

Great Ww2 story

Got it all
Horror and Love but not too much and great historical insights for the men at these amazing points of history. The info on the war machines is enough to understand but not to technically to miss the story. And characters ohh boy some real guys we all have met :)

Great series of books

Great books fun, action packed with glimpses of the Human cost of both sides. An easy listen with RC Bray narrating brilliantly. Recommended

Absolutely fantastic

This book really took me by surprise by how much I enjoyed it. I was expecting a fairly repetative storyline - how much can you honestly vary a story about submarines? A lot apparently!

The characters we well written and likable and I had a genuine interest in seeing them get through the war in the pacific.

R.C. Bray was his usual fantastic self, I will not ever stop loving his narration and he really helped bring the story alive.

I'll definitely be looking up more of Craig DiLouies books, if they're half as good as this one then it will still be well worthy of a listen.

What an adventure

I had this book in my library for quite a while. My only regret is not starting it sooner and now finishing it. What an amazing book so well written and as usual RC Bray was simply brilliant going to miss Charlie and the rest of the crew
