Book description
While sailing in the Caribbean, young Alex Hawke witnesses an act of
unspeakable horror as modern-day pirates brutally murder his parents. It
is a tragedy that will haunt him forever and shape his destiny.
As a direct descendant of a legandary English pirate, Lord Alexander
Hawke is skilled in the ways of sea combat - and one of Britain's most
decorated naval heroes. Now, Hawke returns to the Caribbean on a
secret mission for the American government. A highly experimental
stealth submarine is missing. She carries forty nuclear warheads, and
is believed to be in the hands of an unstable government just ninety
miles from the US mainland. In a race against time, Hawke must locate
the sub before a strike can be launched against the US - and, after a
lifetime of nightmares, finally avenge himself on the mean who
slaughtered his family . . .
Clive Cussler Rich, spellbinding and absorbing,
Hawke is packed with surprises and great fun to read.
