Synopsis: “Great battle scenes, believable heroes, plus villains you’ll love to hate.”—Joe Bull, author of Seas of Crisis
October 1973, the Yom Kippur War puts Israel in a fight for its survival. Thousands of miles away, the conflict is drawing the world’s superpowers into action.
Aboard the USS Manta Ray, Commander Mitchell “Mckay” Brandon receives orders to patrol the Strait of Gibraltar and make sure the way into the Mediterranean is clear for the American naval forces—no matter the odds. Meanwhile, the captain of a Russian nuclear sub has been ordered to intercept and delay any American response—an order he interprets as perssion to fire at will.
Now, even as the conflict on land threatens to engulf the region, the fight taking place under the sea pushes the world’s superpowers into all-out war.
