USS Towers Books

An accident at a German nuclear plant, an illegal arms deal, and a biological warfare attack on the British Embassy in Washington, DC, combine to ignite an international crisis that threatens to draw Western Europe, the Middle East, and the United States into all-out war. To prevent it, a handful of U.S. Navy destroyers and frigates must track down and destroy a wolfpack of state-of-the-art submarines. The enemy is a NATO Ally: trained in U.S. naval warfare tactics, skilled in deception, and thoroughly lethal. Out-gunned, out-maneuvered, and out-thought, the crews of the U.S. Navy ships discover that the only way to survive is to change the rules. "An incredible novel! Highly accurate, tautly paced, and disturbingly prescient, Torpedo takes a hard look at a real naval threat that has been given too little consideration." --Tom Mays, Nautical Engineer and author of The Falling Sky "Jeff Edwards writes with a high-voltage pen. This right-off-the-headlines sea story crackles and pops in a continual shower of sparks! Great climax; great read!" --Don Gerrard, editor and former publisher, Random House-Bookworks books "This is the book that Surface Warriors have been waiting for." --Vincent Fenty, Chief Petty Officer, United States Navy (Retired)

THE WORLD HAS FORGOTTEN THE TRUE NATURE OF TERROR. IT'S ABOUT TO BE REMINDED. A military revolt in southeastern Russia puts a former hard-line Soviet leader in command of a ballistic missile submarine and its arsenal of nuclear weapons. His goal: re-ignite the communist revolution, and recapture the might and glory of the fallen Soviet Union. Without warning, Russia, Japan, and the United States become hostages in a scheme of international nuclear blackmail. When the warheads start falling and people begin dying, no one can pretend that it's a bluff. As the earth rushes toward extinction, a lone U.S. Navy warship must penetrate the Siberian ice pack to destroy the submarine before it can destroy the world. It may already be too late.
