STATE-OF-THE-ART SUSPENSE
TWO THOUSAND FEET BELOW THE WAVES SHOWDOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
USS New York. A sixteen-thousand-ton nuclear Trident submarine lies like a giant metal coffin on the floor of the icy North Pacific on the U.S. Soviet border. Trapped inside are its dying crew and the Pentagon's most vital secrets. The Russians want her. America wants her back. It's an impossible mission only one man dares to accept.
In the shadowy world of modern underwater warfare, oceanographer Frank Hall plays by his own rules. As the military, the press and the rest of mankind wait anxiously, Hall descends the silent depths toward a deadly clash.
In the frigid black waters, a bitter enemy is poised to strike. A Russian commander who lost everything to Hail once before . . . and is ready to even the score.
