Ice Station Nautilus : A Novel

Russia's new ballistic missile submarine is being deployed on its first patrol while America's newest fast attack submarine, North Dakota , is assigned to trail it and collect intel. As the Russian submarine heads under the polar ice cap, its sonar readings reveal the trailing American one...and lead the Russians to begin a radical, evasive maneuver--one that causes both subs to collide and hit the bottom. The Americans immediately set up a rescue mission, sending a new submarine and a SEAL team to establish an ice camp--Ice Station Nautilus--and stage a rescue. The Russians also send a rescue team but their secret mission is to make sure the Americans don't get any intel. To achieve this, they plan to take over Nautilus--leaving no survivors or traces of their actions. Meanwhile, the men at the bottom of the ocean in both downed subs struggle for their last breath. . . This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.
