Synopsis

In 2006 a succession of huge underwater explosions has left three of the world's largest oil tankers burning in the middle of the Strait of Hormuz. As world oil prices rocket, the US president's National Security Adviser orders the US Navy into the area, including the ageing submarine USS "Shark".

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is the year 2007, and the Chinese are poised to challenge America's superiority on the open sea. With a tremendous navy, anchored by a new base in Burma, as well as a $2 billion oil refinery on the southern Iranian coast, they are able -- and planning -- to upset the delicate balance of oil power in the Middle East and the free passage of the world's giant tankers.

Admiral Arnold Morgan, the President's National Security Adviser, is closely monitoring the Chinese when an oil tanker mysteriously explodes in the Persian Gulf. The Chinese navy, in partnership with Iran, have laid a minefield clean across the Strait of Hormuz, holding the world's oil supply hostage . Mystified by China's motive, yet drawn to action, the United States moves to disarm the mines with a huge display of force.

At the center of the mission is USS Shark, a thirty-year-old nuclear boat on her final tour of duty. When the crew is confronted with the unexpected death of brave SEALs, the unimaginable happens: the first mutiny in the modern history of the United States Navy.

Meticulous in its authenticity, terrifying, and thrilling, The Shark Mutiny is the most dramatic story of rebellion on the high seas since The Caine Mutiny.
