Day in and day out, I was reminded of what I was: a subject, a mere guinea pig to a bunch of insatiable lab tests. These scientists were trying to break me, recondition me, control me. I had no idea that my life would succumb to this, a mysterious phenomenon in need of experimentation.

But one day, after almost twenty years, I escaped, leaving nothing behind but ashes and acid rain.

Now hunted through Arctic waters by his own fleet and shadowed by an American submarine commander who isn't sure whether to sink him or save him, Viktor faces a threat far more ...

To help preserve European countries’ economies, the U.S. Navy established a quarantine against Chinese cargo vessels. This led to naval engagements between American and Chinese forces. Due to the inability to resolve the dispute diplomatically, ...
