The Shark Mutiny

ISBN: 0712680438
Author: Patrick Robinson
Description:
It is the year 2006, and a succession of massive underwater explosions has left three of the world’s largest oil tankers burning fiercely in the middle of the Strait of Hormuz. United States military intelligence conclude that the Iranians have carried out their long-standing threat to lay a minefield across the narrow seaway leading to the Persian Gulf. Worse yet, they plainly did it with the active assistance of the People’s Republic of China. Iran can be contained. But Admiral Morgan rounds on China, and develops a plan to eliminate their brand new oil refinery in Hormuz, and then flatten their equally new base in Burma. In the dead of night, the Navy Seals go in, delivered by the ageing submarine USS Shark, for two sensational clandestine attacks. But in Burma they are on the run, pursued by the Chinese across the long, flat rice-growing deltas of the Bassein and Irrawaddy rivers.
