Description

**“…a high-paced thriller.” — Stephen O. Sears, Author of *Sunniland *and* The Orinoco Uranium*** To earn his passage home, Dooley finds work on an ex-Russian submarine. He leaves Shanghai under the leadership of Major Dimitri Utkin on a mission that he knows little about. Also on board are others who seek escape—from the dissatisfied captain of a U.S. Navy destroyer, whose chief petty officer is on the hunt for a chest of pirated British gold sovereigns, to a young and destitute Russian countess, Zeta Tolstoy. Dooley’s expectations are complicated when he realizes that Utkin’s cadre consists of men traumatized by the war and the Bolshevik Revolution—men who plan to impose their will on America. Before he knows it, Dooley’s one-week commitment turns into a life-or-death struggle in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
