Description
1983, The Norwegian Sea: A mole is discovered within the ranks of the US Navy, prompting a volatile standoff between two countries on the brink of nuclear disaster.
“…Wallace has come up with a beauty.” —Booklist
As Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union reach their zenith, a chilling discovery within the US Navy sends shockwaves through the corridors of power. A mole, deeply embedded within the ranks, threatens not just the delicate balance of global power, but the very fabric of world peace.
Tasked with the critical mission of drawing out the traitor, two submarines embark on a journey of tactical warcraft. As they stealthily navigate the icy waters off the Greenland coast in pursuit of a Russian sub, a sudden confrontation erupts, revealing the stark reality of submarine warfare on the vast, cold ocean stage.
George Wallace masterfully weaves a tale of suspense, loyalty, and betrayal, set against the backdrop of one of history's tensest periods, where the true nature of heroism is tested, and the cost of failure is unimaginably high.

Born and raised in Eastern Ohio, Commander Wallace received his commission in the US Navy and a degree in engineering from The Ohio State University. After the obligatory and memorable interview with Admiral Rickover, he was accepted into the nuclear power and submarine communities. He served on two of Admiral Rickover’s famous "Forty One for Freedom", the USS John Adams SSBN 620 and the USS Woodrow Wilson SSBN 624, during which time he made nine one-hundred-day deterrent patrols through the height of the Cold War. George currently resides in Alexandria, VA
