Biting cold, thick fog and frigid, torrential rain…
The perfect recipe for misery.
The perfect cocktail for a deadly battle of wits.
Near the end of the bitter Aleutian winter, a Soviet weather aircraft is shot down over the Japanese-held island of Attu. What few realize is that the five crewmembers aboard are not ordinary airmen, but members of a crack Soviet intelligence team carrying information vital to the coming Allied offensive.
The Japanese know something is different… and they're determined to find the survivors before anyone else.
Captain Art Turner and USS Bull Shark arrive in the Aleutians on a secret mission of their own—to harass Japanese forces, gather intelligence, and disrupt enemy plans before the Americans return in force. Instead, Turner receives unexpected orders: find the missing Soviets and bring them home.
With Soviet Naval Intelligence commander Andrei Reznikov and a hand-picked landing party aboard, Bull Shark slips into some of the most dangerous waters in the Pacific. Japanese patrols scour the islands. Enemy aircraft search the skies. And somewhere beneath the icy seas, a relentless Japanese submarine waits patiently for the perfect opportunity to strike.
To save the trapped Soviets, Turner must risk everything—launching a daring diversion while his men search enemy-held Attu. But every hour brings his unseen adversary closer, until the hunter becomes the hunted.
Now, with time running out and nowhere left to hide, two submarine commanders meet in a deadly contest of courage, skill, and cunning beneath the freezing waters of the Aleutians.
Only one will survive.
In this gripping WWII naval thriller, Scott W. Cook takes readers into one of the Pacific War's harshest and least-known campaigns, where survival depends not on firepower… but on the courage to gamble everything against an enemy you cannot see.
Genre: Historical
