| Summary |
"At the height of the Cuban Missle Crisis, trapped fewer than a hundred miles from the Florida coast inside the claustrophobic walls of an isolated Soviet submarine, a lone naval commander will fight for control over its nuclear payload. The year is 1962, and KGB officer Alexander Vasin is back in Moscow working under the thumb of the power-hungry General Orlov. The general is chasing a white whale, a rumored American spy embedded at the highest echelon of Soviet power. The investigation will push Vasin's spycraft and loyalties to the limit in a high-stakes game of espionage through the dangerous streets of Moscow. While Vasin faces off against rival state agencies and the CIA, and as political tensions over Russian missiles in Cuba reach a crisis point, Vasin uncovers a plot with devastating implications. There are four Soviet submarines armed with thermonuclear warheads en route to the Caribbean, on a collision course with the American blockade."-- Dust jacket. |
