Deep beneath the Arctic Ocean, a covert team of Chinese operatives uses stolen U.S. technology to capture Russia's newest attack submarine. Loaded with massive torpedoes carrying city-destroying payloads, the sub is headed west. The Americans want to sink her, the Russians want her back, and the Chinese claim they're not responsible. NCIS Special Ops agent Jon Shay is a former SEAL Team Two operator. Activated for a mission in the Arctic, he pairs with British scientist Kate Barrett to battle a ticking clock, trained operatives, and three naval armadas. Together, they must find and stop the world's most lethal submarine. The stakes are raised when they learn that the Russian sub is controlled by an infected AI system bent on completing its mission to annihilate hundreds of millions. "W. Craig Reed's Status-6 is my vote for 'Thriller of the Year.' The protagonist is Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan meets Lee Child's Jack Reacher." -Grant Blackwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Under Fire
