Hot Zone

A red-hot submarine thriller! Perfect for fans of Douglas Reeman, Michael DiMercurio, George Wallace and Don Keith. Jack Boxer discovers an illegal 'hot zone' in the North Pacific...

Aboard the super-submarine SSN-S1, Admiral Jack Boxer intercepts an urgent distress signal. A Soviet submarine has gone down in the crushing depths of the North Pacific Ocean.

On arrival, Boxer makes a devastating discovery: the Russian crew is already dead and the vessel riddled with high levels of lethal radiation caused by a mysterious 'hot zone' of illegally dumped nuclear waste.

When Boxer's report into the incident gets buried in red tape, both he and his Soviet colleague Admiral Igor Borodine suspect their respective governments are involved in something that they want to hide. Their suspicions are confirmed when a number of people with close links to powerful government officials wind up dead.

Refusing to sit and wait for an ecological disaster - or be murdered himself - Boxer hijacks the SSN-S1 and launches his own secret mission to destroy the toxic time bomb...

In a battle to save the world's oceans, can Boxer destroy the hot zone?

Or is the SSN-S1 and all aboard about to be blown out of the icy waters of the North Pacific...?
