Synopsis
"John J. Gobbell is the John Le Carré of Naval thrillers." -John Lehman, Former Secretary of the Navy
The year is 1968, and global upheaval is the norm.
As the war rages in Southeast Asia, a US traitor sells top-secret codes to the Soviet Union.
Then a Soviet submarine disappears in the North Pacific...and as the Russians mobilize to find it, a US nuclear submarine goes missing as well.
Vice Admiral Todd Ingram is caught in the morass-and so is his son, Navy Lieutenant Jerry Ingram.
Both men are thrust into a web of alliances and betrayal in search of answers...and a truth that could save the world from a major disaster.
