The USS Stonewall Jackson series is a nine-book military thriller saga following a US Navy submarine through missions around the world. Starting with the self-titled USS Stonewall Jackson in 2018, the series sends the boat to one geopolitical hotspot after another: the Spratly Islands, the Black Sea, the Strait of Hormuz, the Arctic, and beyond.
Makk published the first five books in rapid succession during 2018, establishing the crew and the submarine’s capabilities before spacing out later entries through 2022. The technical detail about submarine warfare operations gives the books credibility, while the variety of international settings keeps each installment feeling distinct. For fans of submarine fiction in the tradition of Tom Clancy and Patrick Robinson, this series offers plenty of tense underwater action.
