Crush Depth

World War III rages on . . . 'The duel between submarines and captains should keep readers flipping pages, especially if they love undersea action.' -BooklistThe Axis and Allied powers are recovering from a violent encounter between a German nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine and the USS Challenger, commanded by Captain Jeffrey Fuller. But the war has only begun . . .Reactionary enemy regimes have brutally taken command in South Africa and Germany. U.S. and European shipping lanes are suddenly under attack. World War is at hand-and for the ruthless Berlin-Boer Axis, the devastating weapons of choice will be tactical nukes used at sea.The Voortrekker, a deep-diving state-of-the-art German submarine, is on the prowl, carrying more onboard firepower than many of the world's nations possess-and the crippled sub USS Challenger is the only weapon in America's arsenal that can match up with the silent killer. But the nation's last hope is in dry dock-and Captain Jeffrey Fuller, Challenger's brilliant, driven skipper, must get his damaged boat back in action weeks before it is battle-ready. Fuller has faced Voortrekker in the past and, unlike so many others, he survived. This time, however, the fight will take place in waters far too deep for a normal sub to withstand. And this time the prize will be America.Praise for the Jeffrey Fuller series'The creme de la creme of submarine thrillers.' -Stephen Coonts, New York Times-bestselling author 'If you want a hair-raising trip to the bottom of the ocean, Joe Buff's the guy to take you there.' -Patrick Robinson, New York Times-bestselling author '[Joe Buff] out-Clancys Tom Clancy.' -Kirkus Reviews
