Cold Choices: A Jerry Mitchell Novel

<p>Following the events Jerry Mitchell encountered in <i>Dangerous Ground</i>, the pilot-turned-submarine officer is now a department head, the navigator, aboard USS <i>Seawolf</i>. Now on a mission deep in the Barents Sea, north of Russia, <i>Seawolf</i> explores the sea floor, part of a sophisticated reconnaissance plan that will watch the Russian navy as it trains for battle. Although well outside Russia's territorial waters, <i>Seawolf</i> is ambushed by Russia's newest submarine, <i>Severodvinsk</i>. Although it doesn't fire any weapons, its aggressive new captain, Alexi Petrov, harasses the intruder with dangerously fast, insanely close passes by the American boat.</p><p>The two subs collide, with the Russian boat crippled and trapped on the bottom. Only <i>Seawolf</i> knows where she is, and the rest of the Russian fleet is too angry to listen. Mitchell and his shipmates have to keep their own damaged boat afloat, figure out a way to make the Russians listen, and keep the trapped Russian submariners alive until they can be saved - if that is even possible.</p>
