Una portaerei classe Nimitz: la Jefferson. Imprendibile con un attacco aereo, inavvicinabile dal mare, inaffondabile da qualsiasi tipo di arma convenzionale, circondata da un muro di aerei da intercettazione, muniti di missili e di un potentissimo sistema radar. In una parola: inespugnabile. Ma il 2 luglio 2002 accade l'incredibile: la Jefferson scompare, colpita da un missile a testata nucleare. Gli Stati Uniti sono in ginocchio. I servizi segreti di tutto il mondo si muovono in ogni direzione. Chi mai ha potuto commettere un atto così audace? E, soprattutto, come può esserci riuscito? La caccia all'uomo ha inizio.
Dopo il crollo dell'URSS, nessuna unità da guerra al mondo è più richiesta dei sottomarini d'attacco classe Kilo, un tempo simbolo della potenza marittima sovietica e il cui vero punto di forza è essere silenziosi come una tomba. Oggi i russi li vendono a chiunque abbia la possibilità di comprarli... costano 300 milioni di dollari l'uno. E mentre nessuno si è preoccupato quando li hanno acquistati la Polonia, la Romania, o anche l'India e persino l'Iran, ora qualcosa è cambiato: nel grande gioco internazionale del riarmo navale è entrato un giocatore nuovo, una nazione che, andando contro i desideri degli Stati Uniti, ha ordinato ai russi dieci sottomarini della classe Kilo.

The H.M.S. Unseen is one of the most efficient, lethal submarines ever built. But suddenly, on a training mission off the English coast, it vanishes, baffling military intelligence on both sides of the Atlantic, including National Security Adviser Admiral Arnold Morgan. A missing weapon is dangerous enough. But then the unthinkable begins to happen....Planes begin blowing up across the skies.Searching for answers, Morgan is convinced that only one man can be behind all these devastating events: his archenemy, the world's most cunning--yet reportedly dead--terrorist spy. Determined to stop his old nemesis, Morgan must use all his wits to find a madman armed with a powerful sub hidden somewhere in a million square miles of ocean. What Morgan doesn't know, however, is that the fanatical terrorist has a plan of his own, one that will bring these two intense warriors face-to-face--and only one will come out alive in one of the most chilling spy stories of the year.

Non solo, sta per procurare ai fanatici della guerra totale l'arma assoluta: un sottomarino nucleare. E così l'ammiraglio Morgan e la sua squadra di guerrieri dei mari devono mettere in campo ogni risorsa disponibile per scongiurare la nuova minaccia. Comincia così la caccia al Barracuda 945, un vero e proprio spettro dei mari, il sottomarino che potrebbe lanciare il siluro che darà inizio alla catastrofe.
Amid the Canary Islands lies the massive crater of thevolcano Cumbre Vieja. Scientists theorize that one day the volcano will erupt, triggering a series of events that will lead to a tsunami higher than any in recorded history. This mega-tsunami, with waves of more than 150 feet in height, would ravage Europe, Africa, and ultimately the East Coast of the United States, causing immeasurable loss of life and destruction ... After Professor Paul Landon, the world's most prominent geophysicist, is found with a bullet in his head, it is discovered that Ravi Rashood—America's nemesis and the former SAS officer who is now the head of Hamas—has hatched a diabolical plot against the West: to fire a nuclear-tipped guided cruise missile—Scimitar SL-2, named for the curved sword of the Muslim warrior Saladin—into Cumbre Vieja. United States Admiral Arnold Morgan, the retired National Security Adviser, and the Pentagon know it's not a joke when Rashood, accompanied once again by his wife, the Palestinian Shakira, explodes Mount St. Helens. Morgan knows something even more horrific is to come. But stopping them won't be easy. Rashood and his Hamas crew are deep in the ocean, in an undetectable sub, which he managed to procure from Russia via communist China. Perhaps worse, a new President, a weak-willed liberal in the White House, worries about taking a stand. As the terrorists' deadline approaches, the newly implemented and unseasoned National Security team must consider the unthinkable. They must assume the daunting task of organizing a mass relocation of major population centers along the East Coast to safer ground. Morgan once again finds himself at the center of a desperate cat-and-mouse chase, battling his greatest enemy yet as he races against time to locate the silent underwater marauder and stop Rashood before the unimaginable happens. With his trademark authentic research and grasp of military hardware, geopolitics, and cutting-edge science, Patrick Robinson is at the top of his game with this new tale
