The USS Paddlefish, an American submarine, sinks under mysterious circumstances with all hands. Trip Black, nephew of one of the sailors on board the Paddlefish, can't get over the loss of his favorite uncle. Twenty years after the maritime tragedy, Trip is determined to find out exactly what happened to the Paddlefish... ...and to raise her from her watery grave at the bottom of the Atlantic. Sinister forces are set in motion when the efforts to bring the submarine to the surface are made public. Trip must battle against people who aren't what they seem to be-and dodge a sniper who's chasing him through the memorials in Washington, DC. Even the powerful can't be trusted: two prominent senators could be friends or foes, and if Trip doesn't find out the truth in time... ...he and his friends will end up dead. In his quest to raise the sub, Trip finds a series of clues, including a diary that gives a firsthand account of the Paddlefish's last days-but crucial pages are missing. Where are they, and what do they tell about what really happened when the submarine went down? Trip enlists the help of a colorful Cajun salvage-boat captain, a former member of the Paddlefish crew, and his girlfriend, Tess, as he journeys to the site of the sinking and prepares to dive to the derelict sub. At the bottom of the ocean, Trip enters the murky, flooded interior of the sunken submarine, where skeletonized sailors' bodies wash against bulkheads-and hidden information is finally revealed. In mortal danger from enemy divers, he plunges deeper into the sub to discover her secrets. What he finds on the sub confirms Trip's worst fears-the truth about the sinking of the USS Paddlefish... ...if revealed to the world, will start another world war. This epic story details the events that led to the demise of the great submarine, as Trip Black and company battle Russian Spies, the Russian Navy, corrupt Washington politicians, malicious gangs, and, most of all... ...the deception and lies that separate fiction from reality.
