| Question: Sir, I finished Pride Runs Deep, almost done with Sink The Shigure(10 pages left), and have Rise to Victory on tap ready to start reading it. I’m not much of a book worm, but they definitely hold me fast. I served aboard the Ulysses S. Grant SSBN 631(Blue) and loved my ship and everything about it. I relate to a lot in your books. Two of the crew were killed on the Grant, during her Bravo seatrials out of Portsmouth, NH in ’87. Was a tough thing to go through, but was surely a life changing experience. Thanks for such wonderful books to read and enjoy and can’t wait to find your new one coming out. Take care Sincerely, Monty Dewitt TM2(ss) |
| Answer: Monty. The loss of a shipmate is one of the toughest things to get through, especially on a boat where the crew is such a tight-knit unit. I’m glad my stories ring true with you. I hope you enjoy Rise To Victory. As a fellow submariner, I will ask your forgiveness for some of the creative license I took. Thanks for your service! – All Best – RCC |
