About This Book

A man races north to aid a submarine trapped beneath polar ice where hostile seal-like creatures press against the hull. Inside the crippled vessel survivors struggle with poisoned, dwindling air, failing equipment, and rising despair while officers and scientists marshal the weakened crew for a desperate plan that uses sea-suits, improvised explosives, and risky forays. Tense action and claustrophobic detail alternate with technical improvisation as endurance, quick thinking, and grim choices shape the crew's attempts at escape or salvage.
