Typhoon"Scavullo is a Russian linguist and the first woman to serve on a U.S. Navy submarine. She's sealed inside Portland with 120 men who don't want her there, commanded by a captain who has vowed that the first woman on the sub will also be the last." "Vann's executive officer, Lieutenant Commander Will Steadman, is wary of Vann's judgment. He wonders whether a captain who says that "a submarine is always at war" can be trusted not to start one, or how an officer who allows no mistakes from his men can face his own flaws. Standing up to Vann puts Steadman's entire career at risk." "As the submarines thrust and parry across the top of the world, as American technology and grit are pitted against Russian steel and determination, it will be Rose Scavullo who holds the key to completing Portland's dangerous mission, as well as Portland's very survival."--BOOK JACKET. |
