John Wingate published all three Cold War Naval Thriller books in 1988, each one centered on a different class of warship. Frigate covers escort operations, Carrier moves to the flight deck and air warfare, and Submarine takes readers back to the underwater world Wingate knew from personal experience.

Together, the trilogy offers a broad picture of Cold War naval power and the tensions that kept fleets on constant alert. Wingate’s military background gives the technical details a lived-in quality that sets these books apart from more generic military thrillers.

The books work well read in publication order, though each stands on its own as a complete story.
