"_I was mesmerized by this remarkable tale of derring-do._"- Captain George W. Jackson USN (Ret.)

Recovering from his Operation Arctic Sting injuries, _USS Teuthis_ Executive Officer Mac McDowell is tasked with laying acoustic arrays in the southern Atlantic and off Thurston Island, Western Antarctica. _Teuthis_ tangles with Argentine subs in the south Atlantic, then confronts a ChiCom sub off Thurston Island. Mac and his team experience serious setbacks at the hands of the ChiComs while installing a relay transmitter on a nearby mountain peak. _Teuthis_ discovers an underwater oil operation off Thurston Island and is tasked with escorting a Taiwanese sub and underwater tanker under the cover of the largest military marine exercise since World War II: PacEx89. _Teuthis_ is attacked by a Chinese Han-class sub and a previously unknown North Korean AIP sub despite the protection provided by three U.S. fast-attack subs. Will Mac and _Teuthis_ complete their mission, or will they finally meet their watery graves on the Pacific Ocean abyssal plain?
