New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (Superman ‘78, Green Lantern) and powerhouse artist Doug Braithwaite (CONAN, JUSTICE) crank up the heat in this non-stop, action thriller that’s ready to blow! 617 feet below sea level: captured and left for dead! American operative Trent is bound inside the foundering hulk of the Akula-class submarine turned ticking time bomb. With mere minutes before the hull implodes, Trent must convince Stepan, the vengeful Russian sailor who vowed to bury him, of a deadly truth: the Turgenev isn’t freighting oil, but a covert stockpile of nuclear weapons. Now, the two enemies must set aside their personal war and navigate a gauntlet of crushing depths and lethal predators in the world’s most hostile environment if they’re going to escape to the surface and put a stop to a plan that could trigger global armageddon.
