Hunter Killer

Deep within the Saudi royal family, Crown Prince Mohammed orchestrates a devastating conspiracy to destroy his own kingdom's oil infrastructure and topple the monarchy he views as corrupt and wasteful. Enlisting French naval forces and their lethal Hunter-Killer submarines, Mohammed sets in motion attacks on massive oil installations throughout the Persian Gulf and Red Sea. As global oil markets spiral into chaos and the desert kingdom burns, retired Admiral Arnold Morgan and Lt. Commander Jimmy Ramshawe find themselves pulled back into action when they discover the plot involves Morgan's longtime nemesis, the elusive terrorist General Ravi Rashood.

Vance maintains excellent pacing throughout the submarine warfare sequences and political intrigue, allowing listeners to absorb both technical military details and rapid-fire plot developments. His measured delivery enhances the tension as multiple forces converge in this explosive tale of betrayal and naval combat.
