A new Cold War ignites in the Pacific—and the Ingram family is caught in the crosshairs once again.
Lieutenant Commander Noah Ingram, grandson of the legendary Todd Ingram, commands a P-3 Orion patrol bomber hunting submarines across the South China Sea. When he discovers a secret Russian submarine hidden aboard a Chinese cargo ship, enemy fighters blow his aircraft from the sky. Dragged to a mainland prison and facing brutal interrogation, Noah's only escape is a desperate gamble: steal a fully fueled WWII P-51 Mustang and fly seven hundred miles across hostile ocean toward freedom.
Half a world away, the woman Noah loves harbors a deadly secret. Marika Dráva—nightclub singer and engineer—has just assassinated the Russian GRU sniper who murdered her mother during their escape from Communist Hungary. Now Kapitán Pyotr Sokolov, a disgraced military intelligence officer, has traced the killing back to Marika through a single spent cartridge. As he closes in for the kill, Chinese operative Charlie Wu hunts Noah across the Pacific, determined to recapture or eliminate the pilot who humiliated Beijing.
Two enemies. Two targets. One couple caught between governments that want them both dead—and secrets that could destroy everything they've built together.
A gripping installment in John J. Gobbell's acclaimed Ingram family saga, blending authentic military detail with pulse-pounding international intrigue. For readers who lived through Todd Ingram's battles, Across the Black Water is the story of the trials his grandson faces when the next war comes calling.
