Overview

From the New York Times and International Bestselling Author Geoffrey Jenkins. For fans of Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October and films such as Crimson Tide and Ice Station Zebra. A top-secret mission to launch a revolutionary Anglo-American missile axed by a budget-conscious government.
