In a small village at the foot of the Italian Dolomites the gardens of a deserted farmhouse have lain untouched for decades. But now the new owner, keen for renovations to begin, is summoned urgently to the house when his workmen disturb a macabre grave.

The Russian-built Kilo-Class submarine: diesel-electric, with nuclear capability, silent and undetectable under 5 knots. The only true enemy of the American Carrier Battle Groups - the stealthy, underwatermarauder that can chill the hearts of US Navy commanding officers. The Kilo is now available, at a price, to aspiring nations around the world. China has ordered ten, Russia, desperate for foreign currency, has agreed to sell them. The first three are already on their way. The American Government must stop the order in whatever way necessary to safeguard American interests. The submarines would enable China to take control of the Taiwan Strait, and America's ally on China's doorstep would fall. A secret war is launched that will be fought out in the icy depths of the world's oceans and in the vast hinterland of Russia's rivers and lakes. With China determined to have its submarines, Russia desperate to earn its currency, and America resolved not to allow the delicate balance of world peace to be threatened, this is a war where there canonly be one victor... KILO CLASS - a white-knuckle novel of action and suspense that could become reality tomorrow.
