Operation Narco Sub

by Harry Rubin

Overview

Narco Subs from Colombia is the latest drug-smuggling method developed by the cocaine cartels. Tons of powdered cocaine travel north from Colombia through Pacific waters in small submersibles built in jungle boatyards. Each carries a crew of four and is usually loaded with eight tons of powdered white cocaine headed for Mexico for further shipment to the U.S. The U.S. Navy is asked to join a DEA/Coast Guard Joint Task Force to help stop them. The Office of Naval Intelligence gives that mission to Captain Al Jacobs and his small elite crew, leading them to another adventure.

About the Author

Harry Rubin was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on a Friday the 13th day of March in 1925. After graduation from high school in 1942, he lied about his age to enlist in the Army along with his classmates. He spent the next 33 years in the Army serving in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. He is a graduate of the Armor School at Fort Knox, and the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. He graduated from Trinity University with a Bachelor of Science Degree. He retired in 1975 as a Regular Army Colonel from his final assignment as Chief of Staff of the 24th Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
Following retirement, he began a second career as a writer working as a columnist for a local newspaper with a weekly column in the Sunday edition. He began writing short stories and poetry, and self-published the chapbook Limericks and Other Stuff. He also has had some short stories in national magazines, and one story in Chicken Soup for a Wine Lover’s Soul. His memoir, Rube: Memoir of a Soldier was finished in 2003 with a limited number of copies printed for members of the family. In 2004, Harry lost his only sibling when Morton, his older brother died. Morton had been a well-known research meteorologist whose specialty was Antarctica and where the Australian Government named Mount Rubin in his honor. Harry wrote a biography to honor him with the title, A Weather Man for All Seasons – The Life of Morton J. Rubin. It too was a limited printing for members of the family, a few of his brother’s scientific colleagues, and a dozen or so university libraries and archives where his scientific articles and monographs were on file.
Chasing Pirates was Harry’s first novel. He got the idea when he read about pirates attacking cruising yachts off the coast of Yemen. The Counterfeit War is his second novel and it came as a result of reading about the prevalence of counterfeit paper money that resulted in the establishment of the Secret Service. Local history in Savannah is full of material about the nuclear bomb dropped in 1958 off the coast in Wassau Sound and Harry decided to write a contemporary novel about it. The result was the third novel in the trilogy, The Missing Bomb. The fourth novel in the series is U-Boat Secret Mission and it’s inspiration came as a result of reading about the May 1945 historic cruise of the U977. The fifth novel is Sunken Treasure.
