Book Description:
Rear Admiral Jake Grafton, who has appeared in eight previous Coonts novels
(most recently Cuba and Hong Kong), returns for another techno-thriller from
one of the genre's top practitioners. The first couple of pages recount the
disappearance of Super Aegis, a satellite that's the cornerstone of a new
American-European-Russian antimissile defense system, on its first, much
heralded trial. But Jake Grafton is only on that case for a few paragraphs
before the stealth submarine U. S .S. America is hijacked on her maiden
voyage. The sub quickly lives up to her reputation as the sneakiest undersea
vessel in the world by seeming to vanish into the Atlantic. It takes a
little while for Grafton to connect the dots between the two military
blunders, by which time missiles fired from the America have devastated
Washington, frying every electronic circuit in the city, and even burning
the White House to the ground. Between looking for the rogue sub, searching
for the satellite, and trying to get some answers about the team the CIA
trained to steal a Russian sub (and then beached when the mission was
canceled), Grafton's got his hands full.
What could possibly go wrong if Congress manages to approve the ICBM missile
defense shield being pushed by the White House? This master of the
techno-thriller spins a bone-chilling worst-case scenario involving
international spies, military heroics, conniving politicians, devious
agencies, a hijacked nuclear sub, lethal computer hackers, currency
speculators, maniac moguls and greedy mercenaries that rivals Clancy for
fiction-as-realism and Cussler for spirited action.
