- Synopsis
- It was the most dangerous test since the first A-bomb. Aboard the mammoth submarine Alaska on patrol and cut off from contact with the outside world, the crew was deliberately and systematically being led to believe that Russia had attacked the United States. Would the crew follow standing orders and fire the Alaska's missiles in retaliation? Would they release the final weapon in a war that could not be won? It was a psychological test: probing the ability of flesh-and-blood men to perform under the ultimate stress. If something went wrong, the Gold Crew who were manning the sub might be lost. But even more was at stake--if the real missiles, instead of those secretly equipped for the trial with dummy warheads, were fired, the entire world could explode. Now "something" has gone wrong. An unseen, unfelt, unplanned-for "something" has emerged as the sub sinks below the waters on its way to its rendezvous with unreality, to its fantasy-induced confrontation with the enemy. And who can stop the inevitable...now that the unthinkable is just a matter of time?
