Synopsis

A US destroyer is torpedoed by an Iranian submarine and Captain Murray Wilson of the USS Michigan is flown to the Pentagon to meet with the Secretary of the Navy (SecNav). There Wilson learns that the Iranian submarine is just a cover story. One of the United States' own fully automated unmanned underwater vehicles has gone rogue, its programing corrupted in some way. Murray is charged with hunting it down and taking it out before the virus that's infected its operating system can infect the rest of the fleet.

At the same time, the head of the SEAL detachment aboard the USS Michigan is killed and Lonnie Mixell, a former US operative, now assassin for hire, is responsible. And that is only the first SEAL to be hunted down and killed. Jake Harrison, fellow SEAL, discovers that these SEALs had one mission in common—they were all on the team that killed Bin Laden. Or so the world was told.

As Wilson discovers that his mission is actually meant to cover up dangerous acts of corruption, even treason, Harrison discovers that the assassin is out to protect the same forces. Forces too powerful for either of them to take on alone.

Goodreads review by Neil

This was a fun, fast read (I know I put down May 7-10 as the time it took to read, but I feel I read it over the course of two days; my fault for trying to review it two weeks after I read it, hahahah!). I enjoyed the character development (until the end; that was painful). The story grabbed my atte......more

Goodreads review by John

I received an ARC through "NetGalley" and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. This story begins with the destruction of a destroyer in the Persian Gulf. The explanation that POTUS receives is that it was the result of a rogue UUV. A decision is made that it needs to be destroyed and Murray Wil......more
