The Trident deception

The USS Kentucky, a Trident ballistic missile submarine carrying 192 nuclear warheads, is on a routine cruise when it receives a launch order. Unbeknownst to the crew, the orders didn't come from the US government. Rogue elements within the Mossad have learned that Iran has developed a nuclear weapon and will detonate it in ten days--in Israel. The only option is a preemptive nuclear strike, and they're using the Kentucky to launch the attack...

  • "ADVENTURE / THRILLER. In this modern-day "Hunt for Red October," an armed nuclear submarine is taken over and must be hunted down before its weapons are launched. The USS "Kentucky" a Trident ballistic missile submarine carrying a full complement of 192 nuclear warheads sets out on a routine cruise. Not long after it reaches the open sea, however, the "Kentucky" receives a launch order. After receiving that launch order, it is cut off from all counterorders and disappears into the Pacific while it makes the eight-day transit to the launch site. What the "Kentucky" s crew doesn t know is that those launch orders didn t come from the US government. Rogue elements within the Mossad have learned that Iran has developed its first nuclear weapon and, in ten days, will detonate it and the target is Israel. The suspected weapon complex is too far underground for conventional weapons to harm it, and the only choice is a preemptive nuclear strike."
