Sinossi

Beneath the Rising Sun

A Silent Depths Novel

Peace is only an illusion beneath the Pacific.

Two years after earning his dolphins, Daniel Mason has found his place aboard the USS Pike. The once-uncertain farm boy now moves through the engine room with quiet confidence, his senses tuned to every vibration of steel and sea. The submarine feels alive to him—breathing, listening—and Mason has learned how fragile that life can be.

As Pike transitions from familiar waters to extended Pacific operations, the world beyond the hull grows darker. Radio reports speak of Japanese expansion. Drills intensify. Live torpedoes are loaded “for training.” The Navy prepares for something it refuses to name.

When a critical machinery failure threatens the boat far from help, Mason acts on instinct rather than procedure—saving lives while earning unwanted scrutiny. His rivalry with the ambitious Alan Whitmore reignites, forcing Mason to confront an unspoken truth of Navy life: competence doesn’t always earn credit, and survival often comes without recognition.

Liberty in Hawaii offers brief escape—bars, laughter, and the illusion of normalcy—but even paradise can’t silence the sense that the sea is watching. The quiet feels temporary. The routines feel rehearsed.

Then sealed orders arrive.

As Pike turns west into black water, Mason realizes the peacetime Navy he knew is slipping away. Whatever waits beyond the horizon will demand more than skill to survive.

Beneath the Rising Sun is the second novel in The Silent Depths series—a gripping World War II submarine story of brotherhood, machinery, and the calm before history erupts.
