Book description
It is 2007, and three supertankers are ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz.
World oil prices skyrocket. US Military Intelligence concludes that
behind this catastrophe at the gateway to the Persian Gulf stands Iran,
assisted by an expansionist China. Joined by new, young naval
intelligence officer Lt. Jimmy Ramshawe, Admiral Arnold Morgan threatens
the Iranian Navy with annihilation, deploying the US Navy to Hormuz
along with the nuclear submarine, USS Shark, carrying two teams of Navy
SEALS. With the US Navy distracted, China is able to unleash an attack
on Taiwan, America's weak ally. The situation is critical as mutiny
occurs onboard the USS Shark, jeopardising the entire operation by
preventing the SEALS from assisting the increasingly desperate Taiwanese
Air force ... 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.
