- Synopsis
- They call it the Cold War-but there are those who burn in its heat. The year is 1985, and two great superpowers-the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.-are locked in a lethal, escalating race of arms and technology. No war has been officially declared. But for those forced to fight in secret, it is do... or die. Reports have been received of a devastating new Soviet weapon. It is called Akula-a prototype attack submarine more advanced than anything in the U.S. undersea arsenal. Unchallenged, it will give America's enemies dominion over the Earth's waters-and an advantage that could prove nothing less than catastrophic to the Free World. Now America's greatest hope travels within the hull of a nearly obsolete Grayback Class submarine. A platoon of SEALs-the nation's most skilled fighting men-is heading into the jaws of the bear on a mission to penetrate Akula's home port, the heavily defended Severodvinsk shipyard on the White Sea. But it is the Grayback's, crew-along with the Navy men manning the accompanying Los Angeles class attack sub-who will be put through the most strenuous trials. For when the mission gets hot, it is the warriors of "The Silent Service" who will be called upon to fight their way out of impossible straits.
