"A maniacal South American drug lord, Juan deSantiago, devises a unique means to deliver his highly-addictive product to the U.S. He has developed a mini-sub that can slip into Puget Sound and deliver the specially-treated product. But this load of cocaine has too much of a top-secret additive and can cause death to its users. Captain Jon Ward of the nuclear submarine USS Spadefish and a team of Navy SEALs must stop deSantiago and his latest shipment or hundreds may die."
