A group of Chinese officers, acting without orders, re-activate Icefire, a long-dormant Old Soviet plan to devaste the rest of the world. Using nuclear weapons to vaporize an immense portion of the Antarctic icecap, their plan sends gigantic, unstoppable tidal waves toward Japan, the Pacific Rim, Hawaii, and California.
The waves are on their way - and the only people who can stop them in time are Air Force Captain Mitch Weber and oceanographer Corry Rey. Working with the former Russian scientist who first developed Icefire, Mitch and Corry have only hours to save the world from the most devastating catastrophe since Noah's Flood . . .
