Stephen Coonts and William H. Keith's Deep Black: Death Wave continues the bestselling technothriller series.

In Central Asia, a dangerous shipment has vanished. Twelve nuclear warheads―with a combined power greater than the Hiroshima bomb―have been stolen by a deadly new alliance of international terrorists. Their plan: Use man-made weapons to trigger a devastating natural catastrophe―the largest tsunami the world has ever seen...

Enter Deep Black: a secret unit of the NSA led by former Marine sniper Charlie Dean. With his hand-picked team of special ops, Dean follows the terrorists' trail to the Canary Islands. But time is running out. In hours, the warheads will be detonated and a thousand-foot wave will rise. In it's path of destruction lies every city on America's eastern coast.

Praise for the novels of Stephen Coonts
"SAUCER"
"A comic, feel-good SF adventure . . . [delivers] optimistic messages about humanity's ability to meet future challenges." -"Kirkus Reviews"
"Tough to put down." -"Publishers Weekly"
"AMERICA"
"The master of the techno-thriller spins a bone-chilling worst-case scenario involving international spies, military heroics, conniving politicians, devious agencies, a hijacked nuclear sub, lethal computer hackers, currency speculators, maniac moguls and greedy mercenaries that rivals Clancy for fiction-as-realism and Cussler for spirited action... [Coonts] never lets up with heart-racing jet/missile combat, suspenseful submarine maneuvers and doomsday scenarios that feel only too real, providing real food for thought in his dramatization of the missile-shield debate."-"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)

--Liz Smith, T"he New York Post"
"A high-octane blend of techno-wizardry [and] ultraviolence...[Coonts] skillfully captures the postmodern flavor of Hong Kong, where a cell phone is as apt as an AK-47 to be a revolutionary weapon."-"USA Today"
"Entertaining...intriguing."-"Booklist"
"Will be enjoyed by Coonts's many fans...Coonts has perfected the art of the high-tech adventure story."-"Library Journal"
