Final Bearing is the first book in the Hunter Killer series. The book sees Commander Jonathan Ward and his crew on the old attack sub Spadefish as they are sent on one final mission. A Navy SEAL team has been sent to South American on orders to destroy the secret laboratories of an infamous drug cartel. The Spadefish has been sent to simply provide assistance, but the drug lord they are after has a few tricks up his sleeve including a mini-submarine of his own and he will do whatever it takes to protect the empire.

Keith also authored the military history book, Undersea Warrior. It tells the true story of Dudley “Mush” Morton, a submariner without peer. During World War II, he would relentlessly attack the Japanese and went through torpedoes in record time. He ranked up many achievements, including being the first American captain to take out an entire enemy convoy. Keith tells the story of the man who did things his way.
