Torpedo!

It was an unprovoked attack, a deliberate act of aggression. When Vice Admiral Mike Brannon of the U.S. Navy received word that the wreck of the Sharkfin had been found, with a gaping hole in its stern, he could only conclude that the Soviets had, without warning, attacked and destroyed a U.S. nuclear submarine. He could not let the incident pass without retaliation. Yet whatever steps he took, he risked leading the two superpowers into a state of war. If he informed the President, it might take weeks for Congress to take action—too long. Whatever response was to be made, it had to be made decisively and immediately.

Harry Homewood presents a novel of mounting tension; a story of today's naval superpowers locked in a deadly battle that brings an unknowing world to the brink of nuclear holocaust.
