It's 2006, and Commander Amanda Lee Garrett has just taken charge of a top-secret Stealth-type U.S. Navy warship. She's never been in action, but her learning curve--and our own level of reading excitement--rapidly accelerates when Argentina decides to take back some territory it used to own in Antarctica. Commander Garrett is a wonderfully rich character dropped into a totally plausible dilemma, and James H. Cobb is good at making the intricate details of high-tech weaponry both fascinating and accessible.

In the icy waters of the desolate Antarctic, a lone British outpost is taken over by Argentinean forces. The world's only immediate defense is the USS Cunningham, America's first stealth warship, whose female commander is untested in battle. So begins the ultimate showdown--a white-knuckled adventure of new warriors and new weapons, as realistic as it is terrifying.
