Description
A New York Times bestseller. America is at war. Chinese hardliners have staged a daring raid on the Spratly Islands, one of the world's last great untapped oil reserves, setting the stage for a rejuvenated Communist dictatorship. The American response has been swift - and deadly. And the Third World War has begun. Captain Bartholomew Mackey is the skipper of the U.S.S. Cheyenne, a nuclear submarine that has been dispatched to the Spratlys to protect a carrier group. Over 360 feet long and brimming with state-of-the-art electronic warfare systems, she is the finest fast attack submarine in the world. But soon, the Cheyenne's mission - and the world - will change, as a tense situation explodes into a full-scale war of nightmarish proportions.
