Plunge into a high-octane maritime thriller that races from Somalia’s pirate-infested waters to a top secret World War II ‘Doomsday’ weapon lying forgotten on the sea floor.

When Dugan’s ship is hijacked by Somali pirates, he mounts a life-or-death mission to rescue the crew. But the situation takes an even more chilling turn with the discovery of a long-lost German U-boat resting on the ocean floor nearby — a biological weapon of unspeakable devastation in its rusting hull.

As far away governments and local jihadis scramble to control the deadly find, Dugan is pressed on all sides. With time running out and the stakes climbing higher, he must outmaneuver modern-day pirates and ruthless jihadi terrorists, not only to save his crew, but to secure a weapon that could unleash uncontrollable death and destruction across the globe.
Danger is on the horizon. And Tom Dugan has no choice but to steer straight for it.

AN INTENSE READ INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS. FANS OF CLIVE CUSSLER, DAN BROWN, AND VINTAGE CLANCY WILL LOVE THIS LIGHTNING-PACED TALE.

NOTE: THE TOM DUGAN THRILLERS ARE STANDALONE STORIES. THEY MAY BE READ IN ANY ORDER.
