The Anthony “Patch” Pacino series continues the Pacino family saga that Michael DiMercurio began in 1992. Patch, the son of submarine legend Michael Pacino, takes the helm in a new generation of undersea thrillers. The four books, published between 2021 and 2025, bring updated technology and contemporary geopolitics to the series while maintaining the detailed submarine action that defines DiMercurio’s work.
Starting with Dark Transit and continuing through Lion of the Seven Seas, the series follows Patch through missions that test both his skills and his relationship with his father’s legacy. DiMercurio’s own naval background continues to inform the technical accuracy that readers expect from his thrillers.
