Nimitz Class cover

A top-ten bestselling author & the unrivalled master of the action thriller.

An unconquerable fortress, the US Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier Thomas Jefferson is the most powerful nuclear-powered warship in the world, stationed in the Arabian Sea to preserve the peace and Western allied interests. But no one knows who is on board, where it came from, or how it came within striking range of the Thomas Jefferson unnoticed.

International bestseller and multi-million copy selling author Patrick Robinson is the master of the political action thriller and Nimitz Class is no exception. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler and Frederick Forsyth, it is a full-throttle ride to one hell of a dénouement...

WHEN REVENGE REAPS REVENGE...

An unconquerable fortress, the US Nimitz-Class Aircraft CarrierThomas Jefferson is the most powerful nuclear-powered warship in the world, stationed in the Arabian Sea to preserve both the peace and Western allied interests.
But the unthinkable occurs when the billion-dollar ship is destroyed in what appears to be a nuclear accident -- it is the greatest peacetime disaster in US history.

Whilst America mourns for the lives of the crew, Intelligence reports begin to suggest that the cause of the tragedy may be a rogue ex-Soviet submarine, and Admiral Arnold Morgan is called in to investigate.

But no one knows who is on board, where it came from, or how it came within striking range of the Thomas Jefferson unnoticed. Worse still, no one knows where it is or if it will strike again...

An absolutely marvellous thriller, one of the best things of its time I have read in years. * Jack Higgins *
