A great adventure! From the foggy, cold of Britain to the tropics of the Caribbean, Lord Alexander Hawke, direct descendant of a legendary English privateer (pirate), and one of England's most decorated naval heroes, is on a secret mission for the American government. One of the Soviet's last experimental stealth nuclear submarines is missing. With 40 nuclear warheads on board, it is believed to be in the hands of an unstable, new govt. just 90 miles from the American mainland. A strike against the US is imminent and Hawke must locate the sub. At the same time, Hawke will finally avenge the slaughter of his family 30 years ago that has haunted him his whole life. Lots of sinister intrigue and fast-paced action. Alex Hawke is an adventurer. His wealth allows him the ability to enjoy the things he loves...top-of-the-line aircraft and seacraft, the relationships with the people he trusts, fabulous locales, and the respect of the governments he has served.Very exciting!
