HUNTER-KILLER SUB!SUBMARINE is the culmination of the frighteningly authentic story told in FRIGATE and CARRIER. It is both an indictment of the policies of the superpowers and a lasting tribute to those men whose lives are at risk as peace fragments into war.The outdated and under-powered diesel submarine ORCUS is despatched on a kamikaze mission into Soviet waters. The ORCUS is expendable, a pawn to draw the Soviet underwater battleship TYPHOON out of its lair and into the path of the British hunter-killer submarine SAFARI. In enforced radio silence deep below the polar ice ORCUS hunts a prey eight times its size — and if they meet, it can only end in a fight to the death.
