Some secrets are worth dying for…
The Russian Delta Two class ballistic missile submarine is the deadliest warship afloat, capable of destroying sixteen of the world’s largest cities.
Captained by Comrade Yenev, The Zhukov — a recently launched prototype — is on a top-secret test run skirting Norwegian waters.

Despite the Soviet’s attempts at damage limitation, intelligence services from around the world rush to the spot, all desperate to learn the secrets of its new, advanced technologies.
Among the reconnaissance planes and warships, a number of dubious individuals start to appear.
The crew of a British yacht, two American ‘ornithologists’, French cod fishermen and Cantonese ‘tourists’ holidaying in Norway, are just some of the suspicious character.
Not only do these espionage professionals have to contend with each other, but also with the captain of the Soviet submarine — a dedicated, ruthless man who will kill to safeguard his country’s biggest secret…
