Deep Sting
ONE MAN BELIEVES HE CAN GAIN CONTROL OF THE MOST POWERFUL NAVAL FORCE IN THE WORLD — AND HIS ENEMY WILL NEVER KNOW!
While the two superpowers are apparently relaxing under the spirit of glasnost, Nicholas Koniev, a Soviet strategic and technical genius and a Spetznaz-trained warrior, is leading a near-suicidal mission into the American submarine base of Bangor, Washington — home of the vital Trident missile subs. He appears to be using mini-subs to seed the harbor with sonar-activated mines that will deny the Tridents access to the Pacific, but appearances are deceiving. His actual mission is a one-man quest to neutralize the Trident system forever.
Bernie Ryng, a seasoned Navy SEAL with a string of legendary exploits to his credit, is heading a small, elite team of SEALS and trained dolphins to reinforce the Tridents' security. A beautiful Englishwoman on a lonely island is the only human being who may be able to help Koniev escape. As Ryng closes in, Koniev alone knows that there are two prizes he's after…

My husband & I both loved this book because it takes place right outside our bluff window. We followed this sub commander as he takes his sub throughout the San Juan Islands. What fun for us & I still have this book.
