Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In the prologue of bestseller Bond's exciting sixth Jerry Mitchell novel (after 2016's Fatal Thunder), set in 2021, a torpedo sinks an American submarine that has just stumbled across a secret Russian base under construction in Arctic waters; all hands perish but not before transmitting images of the site back to the U.S. Russian Federation president Ivan Olegovich Fedorin plans to invade former Soviet territory in order to restore the Soviet Union, buttressed by a first-strike attack against the U.S. using advanced nuclear torpedo-rockets fired from the secret base. President Lowell Hardy orders the reconnaissance submarine Jimmy Carter, under the dual command of Jerry, a commodore, and Cmdr. Louis Weiss, to destroy the base. The tension mounts as the boat slows to a crawl through minefields while pursued by enemies in the air and in the sea. Dr. Daniel Cavanaugh, the demolition and explosives expert aboard the Jimmy Carter, plays a key role in ensuring the predictable outcome. Military action fans who relish the minutiae of the Silent Service will be well satisfied. Agent: Robert Gottlieb, Trident Media. (May) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
