Kill Chain John Schettler

Kill Chain: As the Russian Operation Blizzard surges into the North Cape, Kirov leads the North Fleet into the first major engagement of the next war, the Battle of the Denmark Strait. The tension mounts as two American carrier strike groups continue to advance, and Captain Karpov must use both skill and guile to seize control of the engagement and coordinate his attack with a massive raid by the Russian Backfire bomber squadrons from the Kola Peninsula. Relying on his superb long range missiles, Karpov must advance into the lion's den to get the bulk of his task force into position to attack. But the American planes are already in the skies, bringing their own wrath to face the Russian threat. At the same time, a deadly game of cat and mouse is underway beneath the sea, and the Russian special purpose submarine Belgorod attempts to break out into the Atlantic with the most deadly torpedoes ever made--each carrying massive nuclear warheads. The greatest naval battle since the Third World War is about to begin, and the cost in both steel and blood will be high.
