John Wingate’s ten standalone novels show the breadth of his interests beyond submarine fiction. Published between 1974 and 1988, they cover oil rigs (Oil Strike), environmental disaster (Black Tide), mountaineering (Avalanche), naval mutiny (Red Mutiny), and historical biography (William the Conqueror), among other subjects.
Several of these books stay close to the maritime world Wingate knew best, but others branch into land-based adventure and historical territory. Go Deep returns to submarine action, while The Windship Race explores the world of competitive sailing.
Each novel is self-contained, so readers can pick up whichever premise appeals to them. Those who enjoy Wingate’s series fiction will find the same attention to technical detail and brisk pacing here.
