America

America's newest attack submarine the USS "America" has been stolen by a rogue CIA team - and Jake Grafton is drafted in to investigate. When the sub fires cruise missiles - containing new, classified, electromagnetic warheads - over Washington and then New York, trillion-watt pulses fry every circuit, switch, and microchip - along with a major portion of the internet . . .

The question Jake must answer is who is really behind the theft of USS "America", and more crucially, who has most to gain from a crippled web? Is it the British financier who, with the help of several US Navy flag officers, has made a ten billion-dollar bet against the US currency? Or could the missile-defence system perched on a converted oil-rig off the coast of Florida be involved - its imminent launch unwillingly supported by Europe?

But while Jack strives for answer he must also find and neutralise the stolen submarine before any more of its deadly cargo is dispatched - not to mention dodging the assassin's bullets trained on him . . .
