The second John McCready thriller. A satellite out of control. An offer that can't be refused. A nuclear submarine with a terrifying secret. The ultimate sacrifice. *** How far would you go to serve your country? What would you do if there was no one to trust? In the second of the series, John McCready embarks on a dangerous and hazardous mission for the British government. A nuclear submarine is in trouble in the Pacific and the crew are in peril. McCready and his team are the only ones who can help. Also, on board is an item of vital importance to British national security, and there are other players out there desperate to acquire it. But as the story unfolds, things are not all they seem. Thrown reluctantly into a situation beyond his control, McCready must overcome the forces ranged against him to fight to survive and uncover the truth. With help from an unlikely quarter, and abandoned by those he loves, he faces the ultimate sacrifice in the ultimate confrontation. From the depths of the Pacific Ocean, through the tropical islands of Palau, to a nerve-shredding climax in the icy mountains of Russia, Deep Impact will leave you dazed and breathless, as an unwilling hero puts it all on the line for the safety of a nation.
