Boomer

Twenty years ago, the KGB planted an agent in the American Navy. Today he is the commander of an American nuclear attack submarine!Wayne Newell is all-Navy, all-American, all-traitor. A graduate of the Soviet "e;Charm School,"e; Newell is captain of the nuclear attack submarine USS Pasadena, now patrolling beneath the Pacific. He's convinced his crew that the world is at war — and that the Russians have a deadly masking device that makes Soviet submarines sound exactly like the most crucial ships in the American fleet: the nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines known as Boomers. The subs that Pasadena detects may sound American — but they're the enemy and must be destroyed. The deception has begun...In a world of darkness, super-sensitive listening devices and nerve-wracking tension, Newell's crew is being driven to the breaking point, cut off from communications, forced to destroy "e;enemy"e; subs in a war they can't confirm. And while the U.S. Pacific Command scrambles to find out who is attacking their fleet, two American submarines must go to war — against an aggressor who knows their every move, and is rapidly destroying America's sea-based strategic nuclear defense."e;Technically brilliant...plus the added bonus of strong characters and an intelligent plot."e; — Nelson DeMille"e;Taylor rachets the suspense well past the breaking point...BOOMER is a hell of a fine sea story!"e; — Stephen Coonts
