Sea of Shadows

Description

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)
