Sea of Terror (Stephen Coonts' Deep Black)

                                        THE ENEMY IS ON BOARD.

Two massive ships are on a dual path to destruction. One is a freighter carrying nuclear materials to Japan; the other, a cruise ship heading for the Mediterranean. Neither will reach their destinations. Two factions—Japanese eco-terrorists and Middle East extremists—have joined forces to infiltrate the ships, incapacitate the crew, and change course toward a common target:

The United States of America.

                            DETONATION HOUR IS APPROACHING.

In Washington, Charlie Dean and a team of commandos are dispatched on a life-or-death mission to blow the hijackers plot out of the water. Their plan: board the ship unnoticed, pose as ordinary passengers, and overtake the terrorists. But time is running out. The seized ships are crossing the Atlantic with the combined strength of a full-scale nuclear torpedo. And New York City is just on the horizon.…

“Coonts knows how to write and build suspense. . . a natural storyteller.”

—The New York Times Book Review

“The master of the techno-thriller.”—Publishers Weekly
