<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The USS Kentucky--a Trident ballistic missile submarine carrying a full complement of 192 nuclear warheads--is about to go on a routine cruise. Not long after it reaches the open sea, however, the Kentucky receives a launch order. What the Kentucky's crew doesn't know is that those launch orders haven't actually come from the U.S. government. Rogue elements within the Mossad have learned that Iran has developed its first nuclear weapon and, in ten days, will detonate it--and the target is Israel. The suspected weapon complex is too far underground for conventional weapons to harm it, and the only choice is a pre-emptive nuclear strike. With only 8 days before the Kentucky is in launch range and with the submarine cut off from any outside communication, one senior officer, the father of one of the officers aboard the submarine, must assemble and lead a team of attack submarines to find, intercept and neutralize the Kentucky before it can unknowingly unleash a devastating nuclear attack"--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Fans of submarine thrillers who are saddened by the demise of Tom Clancy will welcome Campbell's debut.-<i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br></b>On a routine patrol, the USS <i>Kentucky</i>, a Trident ballistic missile submarine carrying a full complement of nuclear warheads, receives a launch order.
