The inspiration for the blockbuster movie hit Hunter Killer starring Gary Oldman and Gerard Butler. Under the frozen Arctic, a deadly mystery of espionage and subterfuge unfolds. A Russian submarine is torn apart in a sudden explosion. An American boat rushes to render aid--only to be destroyed itself. Two nations now stand on the brink of war, each convinced the other has struck first.
Into this volatile standoff sails the USS Toledo, commanded by Joe Glass, a captain untested in crisis but thrust into the fight of his life. What he finds beneath the ice is more than wreckage--it's the start of a power play with global stakes. And its architects aren't finished yet.
Only Glass and his crew stand between a shadow conspiracy and the spark that could ignite World War III.
In the tradition of Tom Clancy and Lee Child, George Wallace and Don Keith deliver a pulse-pounding military thriller--packed with authenticity, relentless action, and twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Note: Hunter Killer was previously published as Firing Point.
