USA Today–Bestselling Author: “[A] gripping, Clancyesque cat-and-mouse sea chase . . . spellbinding.” —Publishers Weekly
On the Bay of Bengal, a civilian research vessel witnesses a submarine fire a laser into the sky. Before they can process what they see, the sub blasts them out of the water and captures the lone survivor. Immediately, one of America’s spy satellites becomes inoperative, and seemingly disappears. With the United States blind, Pakistan plans to announce their presence as a nuclear threat with an attack on India that would leave millions dead.
The only witnesses to the plan, and the only ones to know that the bomb is small enough to be dropped from an aircraft, are a CIA insertion team, headed by the president’s own brother, former Navy SEAL lieutenant Scott Hanson. Their knowledge may prevent a nuclear holocaust, but they’ve been captured and tortured.
Thrust into the action is Frank Dillon, Jr., commanding officer on the American nuclear sub Seawolf, together with a team of SEALs. Their mission is to get them back safely. But with the world on the brink of war, getting out may be the greatest challenge of all . . .
“If you’re looking for thrillers with international intrigue, Hagberg is a major find.” —Dean Koontz, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Bad Weather Friend
