Voyage of the Devilfish

Synopsis

A confrontation of submarines just 200 miles off the American east coast is the scenario of this riveting novel set in the not-too-distant future, written by a former U.S. Navy submarine officer. At the center of the conflict are two men -one, a U.S. submarine commander out to avenge his father's death; the other, the once powerful Russian admiral who sank his father's vessel. Admiral of the Russian Northern Fleet of Submarines Alexi Novskoyy, frustrated over what he perceives as his nation's timid world presence in the post-Cold War era, sets out for the Arctic Circle aboard the OMEGA-class, state-of-the-art flagship vessel F.S. Kaliningrad. From there he secretly plots to deploy his fleet to within missile range of the United States to force U.S. compliance in drastic disarmament talks. Meanwhile, Anthony Pacino, captain of the U.S.S. Devilfish, is dispatched to the Northern Polar Icecap to get a sound-signature of the Kaliningrad when satellite intelligence reports it has been launched on "sea trials." Pacino soon learns that Admiral Novskoyy, the man who murdered his father over twenty years earlier at the height of the Cold War, is commanding the Russian ship. A message from COMSUBLANT about unusual activity in the Atlantic lends the Devilfish's mission a startling new significance ... with added meaning to Pacino. The ensuing underwater chases and battles-with sights and sounds so vivid even the most jaded reader will have to come up for air -build to a stunning showdown between the Devilfish and the Kaliningrad above and below the Polar Icecap.
