Ghost Force - Couverture souple

A disappearance. An invasion. And the return of a legend.

Tensions between Siberia and Moscow are already running high, when the sudden disappearance of top-tier Siberian politicians and oil executives sparks open outrage east of the Urals. With relations strained, Moscow needs a new oil source, and quickly. A dangerous plan is set in motion. Persuading Argentina to invade the Falkland Islands again, Moscow's hunter-killer submarine Viper 157 promises to take out the British aircraft carrier arriving to recapture the islands, leaving Argentina free to claim the 'Malvinas' - in return for Falkland oil.

The United States is furious at this act of international piracy. Admiral Morgan and the Navy SEALs manage to persuade the legendary commander Rick Hunter to return. The mission: to hammer Argentina's military and free the Falklands. For Hunter, the assignment strikes close to home. His English brother-in-law and an SAS special forces team are trapped on East Falkland, on the run from Argentine shoot-to-kill man-hunt, out of contact...

The year is 2011.

An oil-hungry world is starving . . .

. . . and Argentina, with Russia's help, is determined to brutally wrest the petroleum-rich Falkland Islands from British hands. Enraged over this brazen act of international piracy, Great Britain dispatches a battle fleet to the islands for the second time in thirty years—unaware that Viper K-157, a lethal Russian Akula-class submarine, lies in wait, stuffed to the gunwales with ship-killingtorpedoes.

America cannot sit idle as hell explodes in the South Atlantic and, under the stern eye of Admiral Arnold Morgan, the military's most powerful weapon is unleashed to hammer Argentina into submission: the U.S. Navy SEALs. The outcome of the unforeseen war that's igniting in America's backyard ultimately depends upon her awesome "ghost force” and their successful execution of two remarkable clandestine missions—while the consequences of failure may be too terrible to consider.
