(Originally published as TORPEDO)
For fans of Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts, Joe Buff, and Dale Brown...
OUT GUNNED... OUT MANEUVERED... OUT THOUGHT... THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE IS TO CHANGE THE RULES.
A minor accident at a German nuclear power plant, a Biological Warfare attack on the British Embassy in Washington, DC, and a secret arms deal combine to drive a trusted NATO Ally into an illegal alliance with a rogue Middle Eastern state. With the world hovering on the brink of war, a handful of U.S. Navy warships must track down and destroy a wolfpack of state-of-the-art submarines.
Their enemy is skilled in deception, and incredibly lethal. Out-gunned, out-maneuvered, and out-thought, the U.S. Navy crews must throw the rulebook out the window, and become every bit as devious and deadly as their enemy.
If they fail, the consequences are unthinkable...

"Edwards wields politics and naval combat tactics with a skill equal to the acknowledged masters of military fiction." -- THE MILITARY PRESS
"... as close as you can get to naval surface combat without being shot at. Jeff Edwards has penned a fast, no-holds-barred thriller that never lets up. Highly recommended." -- JACK DuBRUL, Bestselling author of 'THE SILENT SEA,' and 'HAVOC'

Synopsis
An accident at a German nuclear plant, an illegal arms deal, and a biological warfare attack on the British Embassy in Washington, DC, combine to ignite an international crisis that threatens to draw Western Europe, the Middle East, and the United States into all-out war. To prevent it, a handful of U.S. Navy destroyers and frigates must track down and destroy a wolfpack of state-of-the-art submarines. The enemy is a NATO Ally: trained in U.S. naval warfare tactics, skilled in deception, and thoroughly lethal. Out-gunned, out-maneuvered, and out-thought, the crews of the U.S. Navy ships discover that the only way to survive is to change the rules. "An incredible novel! Highly accurate, tautly paced, and disturbingly prescient, Torpedo takes a hard look at a real naval threat that has been given too little consideration." --Tom Mays, Nautical Engineer and author of The Falling Sky "Jeff Edwards writes with a high-voltage pen. This right-off-the-headlines sea story crackles and pops in a continual shower of sparks! Great climax; great read!" --Don Gerrard, editor and former publisher, Random House-Bookworks books "This is the book that Surface Warriors have been waiting for."--Vincent Fenty, Chief Petty Officer, United States Navy (Retired)
