Commander George Wallace USN (ret.) served in the US Navy for twenty-two years as an officer on nuclear submarines. After receiving his commission through Naval ROTC at The Ohio State University, he served on two of Admiral Rickover's famous Forty One for Freedom, the USS JOHN ADAMS (SSBN 620) and the USS WOODROW WILSON (SSBN 624).

Spadefish and all her sister-ships were de-commissioned during the downsizings that occurred in the 1990's. Reflections on the passing of such capable boats inspired his first novel, the National Best Seller, Final Bearing, co-authored with Don Keith. Their second novel, Firing Point, is in production as a major motion picture.?Commander Wallace commanded the Los Angeles class nuclear attack submarine USS HOUSTON (SSN 713) from February 1990 to August 1992. During this tour of duty, he worked extensively with the SEAL community developing SEAL/submarine tactics. Under his command, the Houston was awarded the CIA Meritorious Unit Citation.?Commander Wallace and his wife Penny live in Alexandria, Virginia.
