Commander Michael Montgomery is a nonconformist among the surface warfare fleet based in Naval Station Mayport Florida. Unlike the typical Annapolis graduate who spent his entire career onboard “tin cans”, Mike is a NROTC graduate and former riverine gunboat skipper with multiple tours of Vietnam. He lives in a houseboat, keeps a profanity squawking parrot onboard ship and doesn’t play the usual political game. His ship the aging WW2 vintage destroyer Goldsborough is starting to fall apart at the seams and Mike fights a constant battle with the shipyard to keep her deployment ready. He investigates a few scattered reports of “sea monster” sightings by fisherman, anticipating it to be a SnipeHunt, but when a trawler capsizes, Mike thinks there might be something prowling the Gulf Coast. His nemesis is staff officer J W Martinson, a Captain bucking for a promotion to Admiral, whose bored wife takes a romantic interest in Mike. As he investigates further, he suspects that this phantom threat is a hard to detect Kilo class diesel electric attack submarine - which may be looking to launch a crippling attack on the US Navy in the vicinity.

Scorpion In The Sea is the debut novel from retired US Navy Captain and destroyer skipper Creator/PTDeutermann. A blatant example of WriteWhatYouKnow and AuthorTract, the novel follows the exploits of a maverick destroyer skipper who tries to find and neutralize a Libyan submarine before it can launch a devastating attack - a sub the rest of the navy doesn’t believe even exists.
