Armageddon (Andrew Sterling)

By Lex Faulkner

The Ohio-class nuclear submarine USS Tennessee, carrying a full complement of Trident II ballistic nuclear missiles, is taking part in a NATO winter exercise in the North Atlantic, closely watched by the Navy of the Russian Federation. Suddenly, a network of underwater listening devices picks up a powerful explosion. Contact with the Tennessee is lost, and the submarine vanishes without a trace. In the Arizona desert, an entrepid journalist writing an article about paranoid 'preppers' enters the site of a former ICBM launch complex where an eccentric Holywood actor is building a luxury residence. Initially believing the project to be nothing more than the fever dream of a group of conspiracy theorists, he soon discovers a shocking truth. A tech billionarie philanthropist with an interest in history and archaeology is searching for the laurel crown worn by Julius Caesar. Amongst many other endeavours, he is also funding a think tank with the stated aim of securing the survival of the human race against rapidly worsening odds. When a driver transporting a torpedo to the UK's Royal Navy nuclear submarine base in Scotland is found dead in his home, it becomes clear that somehow these events are all connected. SAS veteran Andrew Sterling is thrown into a global hunt for the missing submarine and its MIRV warheads. In a race against time, and assisted by his companion Fiona Keane, Andrew must unravel a terrifying plot designed to bring about nuclear Armageddon.
