“It is 1989.  Off the coast of Alaska, an American coastguard cutter spots a ship, apparently empty and deserted.  The sinister truth is that it is full of corpses, bodies twisted in the last agonies of death by poison.  At the White House, the President of the United States anticipates the nationwide panic which will ensue when the link is made with the missing barrels of Nerve Agent S. Dirk Pitt is on a new case, the most dangerous of his far from peaceful career.  The search for the Pilottown, with its lethal cargo, is only the first step in an extraordinary series of events.  Is there a set of rules to accommodate the disappearance of an American President? Can a stand-in convince the world? How is the KGB involved? What lies behind the vast Bougainville shipping empire? Does Soviet Russia really want disarmament? These are some of the questions which Dirk Pitt has to answer.  And time is running out.”
