An Angry Crowd swarms around a small prison. Inside General Sajid Khan stares stoically at his captors. Responsible for genocide and the mass murder of thousands of people, the deposed Warlord is being held unil trial.
The guards scramble but Khan remains calm. One week later Naval Headquarters are told that there's an explosion on an Australian Cruise Ship. This is the second attack and no one knows who is responsible, although Kahn goes missing.
Captain Will Hanley discovers that Kahn has spent his considerable fortune on a renovated Russian Submarine, complete with nuclear missiles which he plans to launch at a city untouched by terrorism, Los Angeles.
Hanley manages to find Khan but the action culmintes in an explosive battle alongside a dangerous reef, where failure will have an unbearable cost.
