Samenvatting:

The Sea of Okhotsk north of the Japanese Home Islands is a cold and unforgiving place. Its icy, dark waters can change from a glass-smooth calm into a raging maelstrom in a heartbeat. The shores surrounding the sea, home to Siberian tigers and prowling wolf packs, are equally forbidding. Far from Mother Russia, beyond Siberia, it is a mostly forgotten land—even though it is the home of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet.

It is here that the Children of the Gulags, descendants of Stalin's infamous prison camps, have slowly maneuvered into position. Their leaders are convinced they can now lay claim to a homeland of their own. But to do so, they must fan the flames of international tension among the Chinese, North Koreans, the Russians, NATO, and the Americans.

Thrust into a simmering conflict that threatens to spill over into nuclear Armageddon, head of US Naval Intelligence Admiral Jon Ward is faced with the impossible task of keeping the peace between nations. Forced into a game of intrigue and sinister political maneuvering, he must utilize the stealthy US submarines, SEALs, and other US assets to extinguish a conflict at the edge of the world.

Contains mature themes.
