Book description
An unconquerable fortress, the US Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier Thomas
Jefferson is the most powerful nuclear-powered warship in the world,
stationed in the Arabian Sea to preserve the peace and Western allied
interests. But the unthinkable occurs when the billion-dollar ship is
destroyed in what appears to be a nuclear accident -- it is the greatest
peacetime disaster in US history. Whilst America mourns for the lives of
the crew, Intelligence reports begin to suggest that the cause of the
tragedy may be a rogue ex-Soviet submarine, and Admiral Arnold Morgan is
called in to investigate. But no one knows who is on board, where it
came from, or how it came within striking range of the Thomas Jefferson
unnoticed. Worse still, no ones knows where it is or if it will strike
again. Political tensions mount as Middle Eastern connections are
suspected, and a deadly chase ensues when a victim's brother seeks his
revenge on the killers ... PATRICK ROBINSON is the author of six
previous international bestselling thrillers: Nimitz Class, Kilo Class,
H. M. S. Unseen, Seawolf, The Shark Mutiny, Barracuda 945 and, most
recently, Scimitar SL-2. He is also the author of several non-fiction
bestsellers including True Blue (with Dan Topolski) and Born to Win. He
is the co-author with Admiral Sir Sandy Woodward of One Hundred Days.
