Lord Alexander Hawke is a direct descendant of the legendary pirate Blackhawke, but he's also a victim of pirates--as a boy, he witnessed his parents' murder at the hands of three modern-day rogues during a Caribbean voyage. Now, fully grown, extremely wealthy, and one of England's most decorated naval heroes, Hawke is back in the same Caribbean waters on a secret mission for the U.S. government. A highly experimental stealth submarine, built by Soviets just before the end of the Cold War, is missing. She carries forty nuclear warheads and is believed to be in the hands of a very unstable government just ninety miles from the American mainland. Hawke must find the deadly sub before the missiles can be launched against the U.S., and confront the murderous men behind his own personal nightmare.
