Hand-to-hand combat with Soviet Morskoy Spetsnaz divers under the ice!

"By far the most comprehensive and accurate narrative of the operation of a nuclear submarine I have ever read."-Michael D. LaNoue, Nuclear Submarine Sonar Tech

As USS Teuthis Saturation Dive Team Officer-in-Charge Mac McDowell leads his submarine team laying acoustic arrays under the Arctic ice, they capture an abandoned fully automated Alfa-class Soviet sub. Piloting their prize through the ice pack to the U.S. East Coast, they must evade or confront other Soviet subs trying to recover the sub-or sink it. Breathtaking deep-sea clashes erupt, including hand-to-hand combat with Soviet Morskoy Spetsnaz divers under the ice. Too far from Teuthis to escape, the Americans are accosted by a 6-ton orca. Will Mac's ship survive long enough to reach friendly waters, or will the men become just another meal for a deadly whale?

Audiobook performed by Trenton Bennett — featuring his acclaimed character voice work —  with full sound effects, original music, and an illustrated PDF companion with images, diagrams, glossary, and supplemental material. Operation Arctic Sting is another great sea story, a worthy sequel to Operation Ice Breaker . Once again, we experience the adventures of Mac McDowell, a most resourceful Navy officer. In Operation Arctic Sting , American forces take over an abandoned Soviet Alfa submarine, and Mac maneuvers it through and under the Arctic ice pack all the way to the East Coast while eluding Soviet subs that want to recapture or sink it. It's cat and mouse, chase and hide, with separated lovers adding to the tension. I especially love Borysko, the warrior Orca who comes to the rescue when hungry polar bears and hostile Spetsnaz divers attack Mac's team. If you want to know what it's like to fight for your life and country on a submarine and as a diver under the ice, then this is the novel for you. It's as realistic as it gets, written by someone who lived it. - Professor John B. Rosenman, Norfolk State University Former Chairman of the Board, Horror Writers Association Author of The Inspector of the Cross Series Operation Arctic Sting is the third in Robert G. Williscroft's exciting Mac McDowell Mission Series , which began with Operation Ivy Bells . Operation Arctic Sting follows Mac's exploits as he leads a team to recover the Soviet Alfa submarine abandoned in the previous Operation Ice Breaker . Naturally, the Soviets aren't too happy about this, and the chase is on to sneak the crippled sub back across the Arctic ice pack to a US naval base while eluding the Russian pursuers. Further, Mac's romantic interest, Kate Perry (also from Ice Breaker ), is under threat by Russian agents. The tale is told with Williscroft's usual attention to technical detail, while providing side encounters with everything from polar bears to killer whales to enemy divers. This Cold War adventure is a definite page-turner. Alastair Mayer Author of the T-Space Series Dr. Robert G.
