They were Typhoons, the largest submarines built and the crowning achievement of the Soviet Union. AS big as World War II aircraft carriers - and infinitely more deadly - their Cold War mission was to ensure Soviet domination of the seas. That was is over. The entire fleet was to be scrapped for billions in American cash. But the Russians took the money and rescued one Typhoon from the cutter's torch - and sent her deep beneath the polar ice on a secret mission that could destabilize the world. The class attack submarine - USS Portland - stands in her way. Now beneath the bone-chilling waters of the Arctic, a game of cat and mouse has begun. Neither side can afford to lose. But only one ship can return to the surface. And only one crew can survive.
