“John Winn Miller is a foreign correspondent, investigative journalist, producer, screenwriter, he’s got all the tools in the toolbox to write a WWII Maritime thriller, and that’s what he’s done with The Hunt for the Peggy C . . . Well researched and it will take you right inside a U-boat during WWII . . . a fascinating story, and a little something for everybody.”
On this week’s episode, Rad features John Winn Miller, award-winning investigative reporter, editor, publisher, screenwriter, indie movie producer, and novelist who wrote The Hunt for the Peggy C. He shares how a dream served as the inspiration for the book and the in-depth research he needed to do to get even the smallest details of U-boat operation correctly.
"The research and [Miller's] due diligence reflect well in the book. It almost reads like the ship's captain wrote it . . . It is essentially a thriller, so even if you're not well-versed in the historical part of it, you will enjoy this book anyway . . . It incorporates so much history and factual knowledge that it makes it an easy read even for someone that generally doesn't read novels. To my listeners, I'll say you'll be binge-reading [the book] because I can't praise it enough."

I had the opportunity to speak with my friend John Winn Miller about his new book The Hunt for the Peggy C. The book falls into a few different genres, but I was most interested in asking John about how he approached submarine fiction, which is certainly one of my favorite categories of historical fiction. We talked a bit about the genre and about the process before moving on to a discussion of how the book might be adapted in different media. -- Robert Farley
