Summary:
In the endless war between East and West, oil has become the ultimate
prize. Nuclear-powered subtugs brave enemy waters to tap into hidden
oil reserves beneath the East’s continental shelf. But the last
twenty missions have never returned. Have sleeper agents infiltrated
the elite submarine service, or are the crews simply cracking under
the pressure?Psychologist John Ramsay has gone undercover aboard a
Hell Diver subtug. His mission is to covertly observe the remainder
of the four-man crew—and find the traitor among them. Sabotage and
suspicion soon plague the mission, as Ramsay discovers that the
stress of fighting a war a mile and a half under the ocean exposes
every weakness in a man. Hunted relentlessly by the enemy, the four
men find themselves isolated in a claustrophobic undersea prison,
struggling for survival against the elements . .. and themselves.A
gripping novel by the legendary author of Dune.
