Book Overview
A novel about the real thing and real events, not traditional Hollywood drama.
"Secrecy and stealth are the watchwords as they must covertly lay acoustic arrays to close off the last remaining routes for Soviet submarines to reach open water away from NATO's prying ears."- George W. Jackson, Captain USN (Ret.)
USS Teuthis Saturation Dive Team Officer-in-Charge Mac McDowell is leading his submarine team on a mission to lay acoustic arrays under the ice in the Arctic when they clash with a new Alfa-class highly automated Soviet submarine. Overwhelmed by mechanical problems, the Soviet crew abandons their sub near Pt. Barrow, Alaska. The Teuthis skipper launches DSRV-1 Mystic, so Mac and his crew can board the empty sub and gather intelligence. The arrival of an even more advanced Soviet sub leads to breathtaking underwater clashes with the specter of war looming. Will the Soviets sink Mac and his crew to their watery graves, or will Teuthis safely return to Alaska where Mac's new love, Kate, anxiously awaits his return?
