To Thine Own Self Be True - Paperback

World War III was meant to be a modern war: civilized, just, and transparent.

But at this top secret Russian POW camp, it's anything but.

Captain Alex Coleman has faced impossible odds and survived time and again. He wears the medal of honor, the nation's highest award for courage and tenacity under fire. What's more, he proved he was the most dangerous submariner in the world aboard USS Bluefish. He's the leader the U.S. Navy needs...until now.

Now he must endure the unthinkable.

Under orders to mentor a pair of would-be captains, Alex finds himself aboard someone else's submarine after enduring a brutal series of war patrols and battles. He's exhausted after living on the ragged edge for too long, but his commodore ignores that to send him on a "routine" mission that ends in the crosshairs of Russia's newest superstar.

After his quick thinking saves the crew of USS Lionfish, Alex is rewarded with a one way trip to a secret enemy POW camp. Expecting treatment in accordance with international law, he is instead faced with captors who have no interest in obeying the Geneva Convention. Between a fellow navy captain whose cozy relationship with their captors endangers all the prisoners and a camp warden intent on prying national secrets out of him, can Alex Coleman survive and lead his fellow prisoners?

Alex has never flinched in the face of danger, but he has also never faced horrors like this. To Thine Own Self Be True continues the War of the Submarine series' exploration of hardship, war, leadership, and the people caught in the crossfire.
