"Edwards wields politics and naval combat tactics with a skill equal to the acknowledged masters of military fiction."

Military Press

"Fast moving and technically accurate in the best Clancy tradition. Edwards spotlights some interesting scenarios that should be food for thought to the world's leaders and wraps them in a style that makes this book almost impossible to put down."

Terry M. Badger, Captain USNR (Ret.)

An accident at a German nuclear plant, an illegal arms deal, and a biological warfare attack on the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., 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 wolf pack 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 must become as devious as their enemies.
