1983, The Norwegian Sea: A mole is discovered within the ranks of the US Navy, prompting a volatile standoff between two countries on the brink of nuclear disaster.
"...Wallace has come up with a beauty." --Booklist
As Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union reach their zenith, a chilling discovery within the US Navy sends shockwaves through the corridors of power. A mole, deeply embedded within the ranks, threatens not just the delicate balance of global power, but the very fabric of world peace.
Tasked with the critical mission of drawing out the traitor, two submarines embark on a journey of tactical warcraft. As they stealthily navigate the icy waters off the Greenland coast in pursuit of a Russian sub, a sudden confrontation erupts, revealing the stark reality of submarine warfare on the vast, cold ocean stage.
George Wallace masterfully weaves a tale of suspense, loyalty, and betrayal, set against the backdrop of one of history's tensest periods, where the true nature of heroism is tested, and the cost of failure is unimaginably high.
