Torpedo

A Surface Warfare Thriller

2004

Out-gunned, out-maneuvered, and out-thought, the only way to survive is change the rules. A minor accident at a German nuclear power plant, a Biological Warfare attack on the British Embassy in Washington, DC, and a secret arms deal combine to drive a trusted NATO Ally into an illegal alliance with a rogue Middle Eastern state. With the world hovering on the brink of war, a handful of U.S. Navy warships must track down and destroy a wolfpack of state-of-the-art submarines. Their enemy is skilled in deception, and incredibly lethal. Out-gunned, out-maneuvered, and out-thought, the U.S. Navy crews must throw the rulebook out the window, and become every bit as devious and deadly as their enemy. If they fail, the consequences are unthinkable... (Originally published as Torpedo)

The Seventh Angel

2010

THE WORLD HAS FORGOTTEN THE TRUE NATURE OF TERROR. IT'S ABOUT TO BE REMINDED. A military revolt in southeastern Russia puts a former hard-line Soviet leader in command of a ballistic missile submarine and its arsenal of nuclear weapons. His goal: re-ignite the communist revolution, and recapture the might and glory of the fallen Soviet Union. Without warning, Russia, Japan, and the United States become hostages in a scheme of international nuclear blackmail. When the warheads start falling and people begin dying, no one can pretend that it's a bluff. As the earth rushes toward extinction, a lone U.S. Navy warship must penetrate the Siberian ice pack to destroy the submarine before it can destroy the world. It may already be too late. "A truly spellbinding tale of intrigue... brilliantly executed." - CLIVE CUSSLER, International bestselling author of 'THE SPY, ' and 'RAISE THE TITANIC' "A page turning, sip-from-a-fire-hose thriller in the world of underwater ballistic missiles and rogue former Soviet states." - JAMES W. HUSTON, New York Times bestselling author of 'FALCON SEVEN, ' and 'SECRET JUSTICE' "Jeff Edwards takes his readers to the brink of Armageddon and beyond!" - JOE BUFF, Bestselling author of 'SEAS OF CRISIS, ' and 'CRUSH DEPTH'

A SINGLE SPARK CAN IGNITE A WAR THAT CONSUMES THE WORLD. Three Tibetan rebels attack a train carrying Chinese soldiers into the Tibet Autonomous Region.

The president of the United States orders a U.S. Navy strike group into the area as a stabilizing force, but the situation between the two nations has already deteriorated beyond any hope of peaceful resolution. With Asia hovering on the brink of annihilation, a small force of U.S. warships must defeat the Chinese Navy to preempt the coming firestorm. The fuse has already been lit…
