“The Iceman” is P.T. Deutermann’s latest novel. In 1942, Lieutenant Commander Malachi Stormes with a U.S. Navy S-Class submarine manages to trap and sink three German U-boats off the port city of St. Nazaire in France. He is promoted and given command of a brand new class of submarine, a fleet boat called Firefish. Based in Perth, Australia, the Perth boats are the only American forces capable of hitting the Japanese in the Western Pacific. The Firefish sinks more ships than any other Perth boat on her first war patrol, but Storme’s unconventional tactics frighten his crew – who nickname him the Iceman. While the crew is proud of their boat’s accomplishment, they wonder if their iron-willed skipper will bring them home alive.
