Karakatitsa — Ian Page

Marine Engineer Mike Joossens took a job with Russian shipping company, Shelikhov Nautical, to design and build underwater vehicles for their salvage operations. It wasn't long before he realized he was building submarines to ferry narcotics across the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after operations begin, one of the submarines goes missing in Japanese waters. As a crew is assembled to recover any cargo and get rid of the evidence, a giant creature is found floating in the waters off of Japan. The crew searches for the downed submarine as more ships go down. The ship and its crew are recruited to help a team of scientists and Special Forces soldiers determined to rid the waters of the threat. Joossens is forced to hunt for the Karakatitsa, keeping his original mission secret, while the Russians begin to question his loyalty.
