James W Law, a retired naval officer, and defense contractor, recently completed Volume Four in his Pacific War Series. "World II Submarine Commander" is historical fiction presenting the training and adventures of Ensign Lyle Littleton as he is swept into the war onboard a Gato Class fleet submarine. Characters from Law's previous three books, "World War II Transport Pilot," World War II Destroyer Sailor," and "World War II PT Boat Captain," are also woven into this latest tale.Captain Harrold "Rats" Mueller, USMC, is a C-46 transport pilot who is a hero during the battle for Wake Island but no saint. Commander David A. Pelham leads USS Selfridge (DD-357) during the early months of the pacific conflict and exacts revenge for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Lieutenant Wilbur O. Wright trains for small boat warfare, races in the "Plywood Derby" to select torpedo boat contractors, and leads a section of PTBs during the Midway Island battle.

Commander Law's books provide technical detail on each warfare specialization: aviation, surface ships, PTBs, and submarines. In addition, he communicates the camaraderie of men-in-arms, their arduous training, and the innovative employment of their weapons of war. Jim "Lawman" Law advanced from an Airman Recruit (E-1) to Commander (O-5) during his twenty-four-year Navy career. He draws on his seven Pacific cruises on aircraft carriers and extensive operational experience to present fascinating tactical scenarios. Law's last sea tour was aboard the USS Coral Sea (CVA -43) as Commanding Officer of an Airborne Early Warning (AEW) squadron.The Lawman logged over 2,000 airborne hours in radar-equipped "Hawkeye" aircraft (E-2A, E-2B, E-2C). He was an Airborne Intercept Officer and Combat Information Center Officer during two Vietnam combat tours and survived over 500 carrier launches and landings flying with the Navy's finest pilots.
