Book description

The inspiration for the blockbuster movie hit Hunter Killer starring Gary Oldman and Gerard Butler.

Under the frozen Arctic, a deadly mystery of espionage and subterfuge unfolds. A Russian submarine is torn apart in a sudden explosion. An American boat rushes to render aid—only to be destroyed itself. Two nations now stand on the brink of war, each convinced the other has struck first.

Into this volatile standoff sails the USS Toledo, commanded by Joe Glass, a captain untested in crisis but thrust into the fight of his life. What he finds beneath the ice is more than wreckage—it’s the start of a power play with global stakes. And its architects aren’t finished yet.

Born and raised in Eastern Ohio, Commander Wallace received his commission in the US Navy and a degree in engineering from The Ohio State University. After the obligatory and memorable interview with Admiral Rickover, he was accepted into the nuclear power and submarine communities. He served on two of Admiral Rickover’s famous “Forty One for Freedom”, the USS John Adams SSBN 620 and the USS Woodrow Wilson SSBN 624, during which time he made nine one-hundred-day deterrent patrols through the height of the Cold War.
