A highly prized intelligence find rests on the bottom of Skagerrak Strait: a Soviet Golf II class submarine equipped with three nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. All that is needed is to find this needle in the haystack, lift a thirty-five hundred ton vessel from the ocean bottom unnoticed and secure it in a surface ship designed by the CIA for this purpose. A near impossible task, nonetheless a band of U.S. submariners agree to take it on.
Characteristic of Ulmer, this novel is rooted in realism and experience of a "been there, done that" sub sailor. This is a truly classic submarine story that is totally plausible. Read it and see for yourself - you won't regret it.
