A #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
A Navy captain near the end of a decorated career, Stephen Rensselaer is determined to always do what's right. In defending the development of a new variant of warship, he makes an enemy of the president of the United States, who assigns him to command the doomed line's only prototype - Athena, Patrol Coastal 15. Rather than resign, Rensselaer takes the new assignment in stride. Soon thereafter, he is deployed on a mission that subjects his integrity, morality, and skill to the ultimate test, and ensures that Athena will live forever in the annals of the Navy.
