| Plot Summary of Goliath |
|---|
"The U.S. Navy designed Goliath, a futuristic nuclear stealth submarine the length of a football field in the shape of a giant stingray. But the plans were stolen. The Chinese built the sub covertly, only to have it hijacked by its creator, Simon Covah, a victim of Serbian terrorism who aims to use the sub and its nuclear weapons to dictate his own road map to peace.
But the sub's bio chemical computer is programmed with the capacity to learn, and is becoming self-aware. Before we know it, it has turned the tables on Covah and become the real power to overcome.
"
Steve Alten, Resident Scholar
