What happens when indomitable will meets entrenched authority?

A young enlisted sailor works with dogged determination to achieve his dream and become a commissioned officer-but is thrown into the unfamiliar world of the Silent Service. Immediately told he does not belong at his new command and likely will never be qualified, he must make a choice: comply with orders and walk away or dig deep and stand firm. Fighting to save his career with the odds ever against him, his fortitude and resilience are tested again and again as he steers against the current to prove his worth among the courageous, highly-trained professionals in the brotherhood known as submariners.

Industry Reviews

"Gripping memoir...about navigating the uncharted waters of life. ...alluring and thrilling...an inspiring illustration of how hidden currents may guide our lives to the shores that we recognize as home. ...his drive and ingenuity keep the reader glued to the pages."

-Timea Barabas for Bestsellers World

"Commander Herman has clearly and succinctly portrayed his voyage through a Naval career. He has shared his ups and downs, and the fact that when 'a door closes, many more open.' Better than a 'morality play,' this book demonstrates what a person can achieve with a focus on self-discipline and self-esteem!"

-Al Konetzni, Vice Admiral, USN (ret)

"With outstanding writing skills and a special talent for conveying his thoughts, R. W. Herman shares a story deeply immersive and intense. Richard's determination...is astronomically inspiring. ...strongly recommended to readers who enjoy highly suspenseful, refreshingly honest, and truly inspiring memoirs. I felt energized and ready to push myself to greater heights."
