From the author of The Hunt for Red October comes a compelling new exploration of submarine warfare developed alongside his new interactive CD-ROM combat game -- Tom Clancy's SSN. America is at war. China has invaded the oil-rich Spratly Islands. The American response has been swift -- and deadly. And the Third World War has begun! Captain Bartholomew Mackey is the skipper of the USS Cheyenne, a nuclear submarine dispatched to the Spratlys to protect a carrier group. But in a few moments, the Cheyenne's mission -- and the world -- have changed, as a tense situation has exploded into a full-scale war of nightmarish proportions. Tom Clancy presents fifteen thrilling scenarios -- fact-based mission profiles for Captain Mackey and the Cheyenne -- stirring plots and characters, perfectly accurate details, and the chilling knowledge that it really could happen!
