I have always loved Time Travel as a book theme. This is my first offering in that genre. This book is totally fictional, but I did a lot of research to make it as believable as possible. I think you will enjoy the trip. Here is a review of it: "Surprise Battle' by Thomas Trimble is an exciting adventure in alternate history. Trimble has taken the time to research and combine reality with fiction on a believable and grand scale. The main player of this adventure, Commander Walter Richey is a well-trained and credible military leader capable of making sound decisions as he leads this mission on the USS Joseph Kane, a nuclear attack submarine during the time period of 2015. During a routine mission, the submarine finds itself suddenly tossed back through time, to World War II on August 7, 1942. Confronted there by a Japanese fleet heading for Savo Island, Richey has to make hard decisions that will change what he knows about history. The question now is, did his actions change the timeline as we now know it? I highly recommend you read this book to find out for yourself!"
