Synopses & Reviews
Authentic action and daring espionage combine in this timely thriller from USA Today bestselling author David Poyer
“No one writes gritty, realistic military fiction better than David Poyer. No one.”—Stephen Coonts
As a member of TAG Charlie—an elite team of active-duty sailors, SEALs, and civilian analysts—United States Navy Commander and Medal of Honor winner Dan Lenson must defuse emerging naval threats around the globe. The deadly Skhval K, an unstoppable rocket torpedo designed to destroy U.S. aircraft carriers, definitely qualifies.
“Poyer [is] a master of authentic detail.”—Kirkus Reviews
When the Skhval-K is demonstrated at a Moscow arms show, Dan tries to buy one so that the U.S. Navy can build countermeasures. But when the Russians sell the new weapon to Iran and China instead, Dan decides that if he cant buy it, hell steal it…
“There can be no better writer of modern sea adventure around today.”—Clive Cussler
When a daring nighttime penetration of Irans largest naval base goes wrong, Dan finds himself captaining a submarine he barely knows how to submerge—while being pursued by Iranian destroyers and sub-hunting aircraft through the hazardous Persian Gulf. Never mind the weapon and the balance of power in the Mideast. This time, Dan will be lucky to escape with his life…
