Nimitz Class

US Nimitz Class carrier Thomas Jefferson is a state-of-the-art war machine, apparently impregnable: $1 billion-worth of security in a troubled world. Suddenly, she disappears from the radar screens, in a nuclear accident, it would appear. The ship - and its 6000 crew - have vanished. But this was no accident, and the hunt is on for the killers. Who are they? How did they manage to kill the Thomas Jefferson? The entire force of the West's defence forces swings into action. They think they're looking for a submarine - an obsolete ex-Soviet submarine - but they don't know where it is, and they don't know who's driving it. NIMITZ CLASS is a compelling thriller that is the best novel of international intrigue and submarine warfare since THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. It is an astonishing fiction debut that will be as controversial as it is successful. NIMITZ CLASS is the real thing.
