Joe is also a national best-selling author of tales of near-future warfare featuring nuclear submariners, special ops forces, and Seabees in action at their bravest and best. His latest novel, his sixth, SEAS OF CRISIS (Morrow/Harper), won the 2006 Admiral Nimitz Award for Outstanding Naval Fiction  from the Military Writers Society of America. He is currently working full time as a co-screenwriter and a producer on a possible major motion picture based on his second novel THUNDER IN THE DEEP (Bantam), which is now well into development.
