Boomer — Charles D. Taylor

20 YEARS AGO THE KGB PLANTED AN AGENT IN THE AMERICAN NAVY. TODAY HE IS THE COMMANDER OF AN AMERICAN NUCLEAR ATTACK SUBMARINE!

Wayne Newell is all-Navy, all-American, all-traitor. A graduate of the Soviet "Charm School;" Newell is captain of the nuclear attack submarine USS Pasadena, now patrolling beneath the Pacific. He's convinced his crew that the world is at war--and that the Russians have a deadly masking device that makes Soviet submarines sound exactly like the most crucial ships in the American fleet: the nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines known as Boomers. The subs that Pasadena detects may sound American-but they're the enemy and must be destroyed. The deception has begun....

In a world of darkness, super-sensitive listening devices and nerve-wracking tension, Newell's crew is being driven to the breaking point, cut off from communications, forced to destroy "enemy" subs in a war they can't confirm. And while the U.S. Pacific Command scrambles to find out who is attacking their fleet, two American submarines must go to war--against an aggressor who knows their every move, and is rapidly destroying America's sea-based strategic nuclear defense.
