by David Poyer (Author)
Navy Commander Dan Lenson heads up TAG Team C, a select group of naval officers, special forces, and civilian contractors whose assignment is to confront imminent naval threats. When a new Russian rocket torpedo-a nuclear warhead that is fast and unstoppable-is tested at a Russian international arms conference, Dan and his team try to buy the weapon's engineering plans, but narrowly escape with their lives as their mission is betrayed. After Iran acquires the weapon for its dangerous military build up, the team is sent to steal it from the submarine that hides it. A daring night time entry leads to a blistering fire fight, with Dan commanding a submarine he does not know how to navigate, and pursued by an army of Iranian warships and sub- hunting jets through the maze of oilfields in the Persian Gulf. Amazing action and daring espionage combine in a Das Boot meets Vince Flynn thriller set in today's hair-trigger military environment.
