Bloodline of Redemption

By: Brian Dickinson

Narrated by: Scott Fleming

A rogue Russian submarine. A buried Cold War vendetta. And a hunted American aircrew forced to fight for redemption across the depths of the Pacific and into the icy peaks of the Cascades.

Bloodline of Redemption is a high-stakes military thriller that weaves real-world naval operations, combat rescue missions, and mountaineering survival into a suspense-filled race against time. When a U.S. Navy aircrew vanishes under mysterious circumstances, former Aviation Rescue Swimmer and Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) operator Brody Hayes is pulled back into a world he thought he left behind. This time, the threat is personal—and decades in the making.

Written by solo Everest summiteer and survivor Brian Dickinson, also a former U.S. Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmer, CSAR, and Anti-Submarine Warfare Operator, this debut novel delivers authentic action, raw emotion, and a chilling reminder: some secrets never die.

The main character 's faith

Excessive violence. I think I am getting too old for this kind of violence in a book. Eventually I found I have to skip parts of the book. It is a good book, well written, factual. But not for me.

Intriguing Story

A great fictional story—an engaging and compelling read about aircrew rescue swimmers and faith. The author blends high-stakes rescue operations with the inner struggles of belief, duty, and sacrifice. The characters feel authentic, and the technical details add realism without overwhelming the story. It’s a meaningful read that balances action, service, and spiritual reflection.
